The Federal Court has dismissed a Muslim convert’s bid to appeal against a lower court's decision granting custody of her two children to their Buddhist father. FMTNews FederalCourt Buddhist Islam

KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Court today dismissed a leave application filed by a Muslim mother to challenge a lower court’s decision to grant custody of her two children to their Buddhist father.

She also wanted the court to determine if the presumption that it was best for children below seven years old to be with their mother ought to be negated due to an act of criminal force by the mother against the father. The Court of Appeal granted custody of the siblings to their father, after finding that the mother had “placed her interest above theirs”, including once leaving a child alone and crying.

She was awarded full custody of the siblings in April 2018 by the Shah Alam High Court but the Appeals Court reversed the decision last year.

Wife can assault the father with a fork, can leave her children unattended to attend to her own interest. Good decision by the court . Children's well being look more secured with the father.

divorce is always a bitter for the whole family. it's always complicated and no decisions made by courts are amicable. pray that the involved parties can reconcile for the sake of the well-being of the children

Good. Religion shouldn’t cloud the court decision. Based on the mother’s previous behaviour, this is best for the children’s safety and well being.

all malay on the bench !
