NIA says Love Jihad is for real, Supreme Court orders probe into Kerala marriage case
According to reports a bench headed by Chief Justice J S Khehar said the investigation into the matter will be supervised by former Supreme Court judge R V Raveendran.
The court directed the probe agency to furnish the report to it after completing the investigation.
The order came after NIA told the SC that love jihad is for real.
“There is a pattern to convert Hindu girls and get them married to Muslim men,” NIA told SC.
The issue came up in the Supreme Court after Shafin Jahan, a Kerala native, challenged the annulment of his marriage to a Hindu girl by the Kerala High Court.
The High Court, which had described Jahan's marriage as an instance of "Love Jihad," also ordered the state police to probe such cases.
.Jahan said the annulment of the marriage was an insult to the independence of women in the country.
The SC had directed the Kerala DGP to share records of the probe conducted so far with the NIA.
The NIA recently conducted probe into some cases of ‘love jihad."
