ACS wants 2001 ordinance amended


KUCHING: The Majlis Islam Sarawak Ordinance 2001 should be amended to require the consent of both parents for child conversions, said the Association of Churches in Sarawak (ACS).

Its secretary-general Ambrose Linang said this would avoid the constitutionality of the state law being called into question should Parliament pass the amendments to the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act.
