Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak today urged families involved in interfaith child custody cases to use the Federal Court to resolve them.
Najib said the government believes the court will consider giving priority to the cases.
"The attorney-general will consult with the affected families. I hope everyone will respect the court's decision," he said in a statement today.
The Court of Appeal last month dismissed the application of Muslim convert N Viran (Izwan Abdullah) to set aside the Seremban High Court decision giving his former wife S Deepa, a Hindu, custody of their two children.
In another case, M Indira Gandhi got a Ipoh High Court order early this year to cite her former husband K Patmanathan for contempt of court for failing to hand over their youngest child, six-year-old Prasana Diksa.
The order was made according to the High Court decision on March 11, 2010.
In April 2009, the Ipoh Syariah High Court gave custody of their three children, Abu Bakar (Karan Dinish), Ummu Salamah (Tevi Darsiny) and Prasana Diksa (Ummu Habibah) to their Muslim convert father K Patmanathan (Muhammad Ridzuan Abdullah).
