For the last seven years, Zarinah Abdul Majid had been making frequent trips to the Shariah Court and the National Registration Department (NRD) hoping to remove the word Islam from her identity card, as she is not a practising Muslim.She said she spent thousands of ringgit hiring lawyers to help but it was all in vain.Zarinah then took a bold step – she decided she was going to marry the man of her dreams, a Hindu – and that too, in a temple on Sunday. I was not afraid any more. I was fed up and could not wait any longer. I am getting old and I want a family of my own, - told Zarinah.She had invited 400 guests and spent more than RM30,000 on the ceremony and the reception that followed. But the reception did not go as planned as enforcement officers from the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais), accompanied by policemen, took her away to question her about her religious status. Most of my guests were shocked and obviously, they left without eating. It was so embarrassing and painful, she told The Malaysian Insider.
