The council of Rulers who met today decided to get the views of state religious councils on the approval of changes to laws involved in conversion before making a decision. The Sultans are head of the religion in the states, so probably they want to discuss at state level first before putting it in front of the Council of Rulers.

The laws in question are Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976, Administration of Islamic Law (Federal Territories) Act 1993 and Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) Act 1984. The amendments are postponed now until its cleared at both levels before brought into parliament.
