STATE enactments on religious conversion need to be harmonised with the Federal Constitution to ensure adherence on the issue of child conversions, former Penang deputy chief minister P. Ramasamy said.

He said some states allow children to convert to Islam with the consent of only one parent while the constitution requires the approval of both parents.
