INFANTS' CUSTODY AND SETTLEMENTS ACT 1899 - SECT 9

9 Power of Court as to minor’s religious education

(1) Upon any application by the parent of a minor for the production or custody of the minor, if the Court is of opinion that the parent ought not to have the custody of the minor, and that the minor is being brought up in a different religion from that in which the parent has a legal right to require that the minor should be brought up, the Court may make such order as it may think fit to secure that the minor shall be brought up in the religion in which the parent has a legal right to require that the minor should be brought up.

(2) Nothing in this Act contained shall interfere with or affect the power of the Court to consult the wishes of the minor in considering what order ought to be made, or diminish the right which a minor now possesses to exercise free choice.
