Abide by court’s decision, allow children to be with mum, says Suhakam

Its commissioner for child affairs Prof Datuk Noor Aziah Mohd Awal said the court had further ordered that the three children who are now under the care of the Social Welfare Department be released to the sole custody, care, and control of the mother.

Earlier, it was alleged that the children were unilaterally converted to Islam by the Perlis religious authorities, at the request of their father in July 2020, and that the mother was unaware of the conversion as she was recovering in a domestic abuse shelter. "The word ‘parent’ in Article 12 of the constitution has been interpreted to include ‘both parents’ and the Guardianship of Infants Act 1961 by virtue of Section 5 recognises that both parents have equal rights in respect of the child," she said.
