The issue of unilateral conversion of kindergarten teacher M Indira Gandhi's three children by her former husband K Pathanathan @ Mohd Ridhwan Abdullah has attracted much attention, following the Court of Appeal judgment delivered last Thursday.

The majority judgment by Justice Balia Yusof Wahi, who headed the three-member bench, ruled that the issuance of a certificate by the Registrar of Mualaf (for new Muslim converts) is conclusive proof that conversion took place.
