14:30 Jul 25, '06 / 29 Tammuz 5766
(IsraelNN.com) The number of Jewish women converting to Islam and marrying Muslim men is expected to double this year.
According to Israel's population registry, an average of 35 women have converted each year, but so far, in the first half of 2006, 42 women have converted.
The conversions are carried out at Islamic Sharia Courts. Unlike the lengthy study requirements and proceedings necessary to convert to Judaism in Israel, converting to Islam is a very short ordeal, entailing only declaring one's wishes to become a Muslim before the court.
According to Jewish law, the women remain Jews and their children will be Jewish as well.
