This article analyses how a private religious practice contests the boundaries among religion, the family and the state in Malaysia. It focuses on the Administration of the Religion of Islam (Federal Territories) Bill 2013 which sparked a nationwide debate on religion and the family as it allows one parent to convert children younger than 18 years old without consulting another parent. The question of converting a child is neither new nor is it confined to Malaysia. What makes the issue more complicated in Malaysia, however, is the timing of the event; a parent converts the child at the end of connubiality. This article aims to bring forward the discussion of religion, the family and the state, not only how the family has become the entrance to a religion, but also how a religious conversion, framed by the state, may complete the break-up of the family.
Abstract
This article analyses how a private religious practice contests the boundaries among religion, the family and the state in Malaysia. It focuses on the Administration of the Religion of Islam (Federal Territories) Bill 2013 which sparked a nationwide debate on religion and the family as it allows one parent to convert children younger than 18 years old without consulting another parent. The question of converting a child is neither new nor is it confined to Malaysia. What makes the issue more complicated in Malaysia, however, is the timing of the event; a parent converts the child at the end of connubiality. This article aims to bring forward the discussion of religion, the family and the state, not only how the family has become the entrance to a religion, but also how a religious conversion, framed by the state, may complete the break-up of the family.
