Mother sues to invalidate daughter’s “Islamisation”

by Scott Gilbreath ~ February 22nd, 2009

In March 2007, a 17-year-old girl who had been raised a Christian disappeared from her family home in Egypt. After a long search, she was found married to a Muslim neighbour who had induced her to convert to Islam.

Because the girl’s change of religion was recognised on official documents, her mother has sued the Minister of the Interior to have the conversion nullified because she was a minor child at the time and, therefore, still in the legal custody of her parents.

The girl’s mother “N.M.” had to resort to the judiciary after all other means failed to bring her daughter back. She filed a lawsuit, the first of its kind, before the of [sic] Administrative Judiciary Court of the State Council, protesting the invalidity of her daughter’s conversion into Islam, due to being a minor.
[…]
According to the mother, the daughter’s husband forced her to convert to Islam and changed her name, which is forgery of official documents, since the law states that the child can only be attributed to its natural parents.

The mother also points out that persuading a minor child to change religion is contrary to Islamic teaching.
