Dear C,
If you don’t believe in Koran and Muhammad’s teachings, yes, it is good idea not to fake-convert just for the marriage. However, Malaysian authority will not register your marriage unless you are a “Muslim”. If you fake-convert, then the authority will ask for the certificate (how ever you got the Nikahnama, fake or not). They will register your marriage and will change your MyKad (their national identity card) saying your religion as “Islam”. Once that is done, you cannot change your religion, even (in Malaysia and most other Muslim countries). Your grandchildren of next hundreds of generations will be Muslim only. If any one of them got in love with another Christian, again they will have to convert. As far we know, there is no way around it. This is state mandated laws to expand Islam, and if you like it or not, will be a victim of the system.

Can you stay in Singapore and settle there only? If you go to Malaysia once a while as a traveler, you will not get into trouble with authority unless someone report to them. Why you want ceremony in Malaysia, just skip that country. The Muslim boyfriend should have explained all these to you; we hope he is not playing innocent game now! Let us know what else we can tell you. Best wishes. -Admin
