Need freedom to meet husband: Hadiya after release from father's custody

Salem, Nov 29 (IBNS): Two days after being released from father's custody, 24-year-old Hadiya Jehan on Wednesday said she needs freedom to meet  her husband, media reports said.

"I need freedom to meet the person I love" Hadiya said while interacting with media.

Though Hadiya has been freed from her father's custody, she needs to take permission from Tamil Nadu's Sivaraj Homeopathy Medical College, where she is staying since Tuesday, to meet anyone she wishes.

The college told NDTV that Hadiya will not be deprived of any fundamental right.

A three-judge bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra, Justices A M Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud passed the interim order to let Haidya free 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.
