Chandra on cases like Subashini, Rayappan and Moorthy...
"We need legislation that states very clearly that when a person converts to Islam... Ley's say he has married under civil law to a Buddhist, and decides to become a Muslim. We need a law that speaks very clearly, that all matters pertaning to his previous marriage, to the rights of the wife, of the children, pertaining to custody, religion of the children, inheritance -- all these things should be resolved under civil law before the chaps move on... And the same would apply to couples married under Syariah law and one of the parties decides to embrace another religion. The person would have to resolve everything under Syariah before moving on."
Quoted from an interview with Chandra Muzaffar by Off The Edge, May 2007 issue 29.

law is clear enough, only high court and appeal court judges did their own interpretation which do unjust to both non muslim and muslim.
Another big question is, who gave power to the religious authority to challenge rights of non muslim, such as taking away peoples children and wife, only because they has been suspected as muslim?
