The father of the bride whose Hindu wedding was disrupted by Islamic authorities said that he had complained about his convert wife raising their children as Hindu to the Malaysian Islamic Welfare Association (Perkim).

However, Abdul Majeed Gulam Kader, 54, told Berita Harian that no action was taken on his complaint, which was lodged in 1996.

“So my wife and our children followed her earlier religion. My in-law's also interfered even before my children were teenagers, when I lost my job and became unemployed."
