suggestion to prevent Maria Hertogh riots in 1950

The Maria Hertogh riots or Natrah riots, which started on 11 December 1950 in Singapore, consisted of outraged Muslims who resented the court decision to give the custody of Maria Hertogh (or Bertha Hertogh), then 13, to her biological Dutch Catholic parents after she had been raised as a Muslim under the care of Aminah binte Mohamed, whom she regarded as her mother. The riots lasted till noon on 13 December, with 18 killed, 173 injured and many properties damaged – the worst incident of its kind ever witnessed in Singapore.
Prior to the riots, the disputed custody of Maria had received widespread press coverage. Many Muslims living in Malaya and Indonesia believed in the legitimacy of the adoption of Maria and a later short-lived marriage to Mansoor Adabi, two major points of contest in the court proceeding to determine the custody of Maria. They thus lent their support, financial and moral, to organizations that fought to keep Maria in Malaya. But some, such as the Malayan nationalists, seized the incident as an opportunity to further weaken the colonial government's position in the region. The insensitivity of the colonial government towards Muslim sentiments and the involvement of radical elements eventually culminated in the tragedy. I think that if judge allow Maria Hertogh to have 2 parents, for example monday to thursday with Che Aminah's family then friday to sunday with her biological parents, then it would be good to both Che Aminah and Maria's family since both of them could have the chance to get contact with Maria. As for religion, i think that the parents should let her choose herself.if Maria really wants to be a Muslim, then Maria's biological parents should let her be 1 rather than forcingher to be a Catholic. Same as for Che Aminah. With this 2 suggestion, i think that it can stop the riots in 1950.
