If they were converted al daas avihem then the giyur is tofes immediately
and permanently, and they have no right to undo either the giyur or the
marriage when they grow up.  So for this theory to work one would have to
suppose either that their fathers were deceased or that they consented
only to the marriage and not to the giyur.
