The baby of the couple in the midst of a conversion row has yet to be returned to the mother, M Indira Ghandi even though the Ipoh High Court on March 11, awarded custody of the children to her.

The court's decision is considered a landmark ruling in that it has the jurisdiction to hear family matters involving custody of children although one party has converted to Islam.

Justice Wan Afrah Wan Ibrahim allowed M Indira Ghandi's application for custody of her three children who were converted to Islam by her estranged 41 year-old husband, who had also converted to Islam.

After a one-year legal battle the kindergarten teacher has won custody of daughter Tevidarsiny, 13, son Karan Dinish, 12, and daughter Prasana Diksa, 2.
