Malaysia: Man Converts to Islam, then Divorces Wife
This is certainly an advantage of converting to Islam I had overlooked. In short, a non-Muslim man is married to a non-Muslim woman. (It seems the woman is an apostate from Islam.) The marriage is going badly, and if there is divorce, the children will likely be awarded to the woman in Civil Court. So what does the man do? He converts to Islam, and now being a Muslim man, the case moves to Shar'ia Court, which will side with him. At the end of the day, Islam will get three new followers out of this family dispute, the man and the two children. This is a direct result of Islam's supremacist policies: Non-Muslim spouse must seek remedy in syariah court
PUTRAJAYA: A non-Muslim married to a person who has converted to Islam has to seek remedy in the syariah court over family matters.In a landmark ruling, the Court of Appeal also held that a Muslim could make an application to the syariah court to convert his or her underage children without the permission of the non-Muslim spouse.
However, the three Court of Appeal judges were divided in their opinions.
Judges Datuk Suriyadi Halim Omar and Datuk Hasan Lah dismissed with costs the appeal of R. Subshini, 28, a company secretary, who wanted an injunction to restrain her husband, Muhammad Shafi Saravanan Abdullah, 30, a businessman, from:
* converting their two children, Dharvin Joshua, 3, and one-year-old Sharvind to Islam; and,
* commencing any proceeding in any syariah court with regard to their civil marriage.
Datuk Gopal Sri Ram, who was the dissenting judge, said the court would hear a formal application from Subshini to stay the order sought by her husband in a day or two.[...]

The first two judges, Omar and Hasan have muslim names. The
third is a Hindu. No wonder he dissented.
