In this case, Perumal was the father of Poonuswami who got married to an
Indian Christian. In the future due to certain differences, they were living
separately. In the future, the mother of Poonuswami asked Perumal for the

and a Christian is void”. The Supreme Court of India held that a real
intention is sufficient evidence of conversion and no formal ceremony of
purification is needed (Conversion of Hinduism). So it is not void and
Poonuswami would get a share.
