The National Registration Department’s (NRD) requirement for Zarina Abdul Majid to seek a court declaration on her religious status is legal and in line with the Federal Constitution, Muslim NGO Ikram says.

The group’s legal bureau committee member Wan Anwar Wan Ibrahim said since Zarina’s father Abdul Majid Gulam Kader claims that she was born into a Muslim family, then Zarina is presumed to be a Muslim, until proven otherwise.
