KUALA LUMPUR: Children living in charity homes associated with GISB Sdn Bhd (GISB) face the risk of being declared "anak wait syubhah” (illegitimate).
Syariah Lawyers Association of Malaysia (PGSM) president Musa Awang said that under the Syaria law, particularly the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) Act 1984, the recognition of a child's lineage depends on the marital status of the mother and father.
