Plaintiff is a Muslim as defined by s2(1)(d) read with s103 of the Enakmen because her mother, who had custody, converted while plaintiff was under 18 and recorded plaintiff in the Mualaf Register; matters concerning renunciation of Islam and determination of religious status where the person is effectively Muslim fall within Syariah court jurisdiction and therefore the civil High Court lacks jurisdiction to grant the declarations sought; plaintiff's application is dismissed with costs.
