Conversion to Islam - Effect on Status of Marriages and Ancillary Reliefs, examines the adequacy of current law on conversion to Islam by a spouse with regard to the status of marriages and ancillary reliefs as a consequence of conversion. In Malaysia there are two different laws governing the non-Muslims and the Muslims separately. on the issue of conversion to Islam by one spouse and its effect on their marriages. For Muslims, they are governed by the Islamic Enactments and for the non-Muslims it is the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 (Act 164) (LRA). When a non-Muslim embraces Islam, the LRA is no longer applicable to him/her. The various problems, arising due to conversion of one spouse to Islam, particularly on the status of marriages, children and ancillary reliefs are discussed in this book. Conversion to Islam-Effect on Status of Marriages and Ancillary Reliefs, is the best book for students pursuing Islamic Law and also to all those who are ambiguous and anxious of the legal reliefs available under the circumstances.
