POLITICAL will to end disputes arising from the conversion of one spouse to Islam will be put to the test in the second Dewan Rakyat sitting of the year starting tomorrow, as amendments to the Law Reform (Marriage & Divorce) Act are scheduled to be tabled for the second reading.  

The amendments will tackle controversial issues, including the unilateral (single parent) conversion of minors and dissolution of marriage when one spouse converts to Islam.
