Kerala 'love jihad': Hadiya returns to Salem college
Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 28 (IBNS): 24-year-old Hadiya Jehan is back in her college in Tamil Nadu's Salem after the Supreme Court on Monday allowed her to come out of her father's custody in order to resume her studies.
Hadiya reached Sivaraj Homeopathy Medical College in Tamil Nadu’s Salem on Tuesday night amid tight security, said media reports.
The development comes after a three-judge bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud passed the interim order in an open court on Monday.
Being Hindu, Hadiya's marriage with Shafin Jahan was declared annulled by a lower court earlier after the girl's father complained that she had been indoctrinated into Islam religion.
On Monday, Hadiya expressed her wish to finish her studies in Homeopathy medicine (BHMS).
She had also insisted that her husband should be made her guardian so that he can fund for her studies.
Hadiya had told the apex court that she wants to be with her husband even as her parents are opposed to it.
The Supreme Court had directed the university concerned to re-admit Hadiya and grant her hostel facility.
It had also asked Kerala police to provide the woman with security.
