After leaving father's custody, Hadiya meets husband in Salem college
Salem, Dec 9 (IBNS): Days after leaving father's custody, Hadiya Jehan, whose marriage with Shafin Jehan was annulled earlier by lower court, met her husband in Salem college on Friday, media reports said.
Hadiya met Shafin for the first time after their marriage was annulled by a lower court following the girl's father complained that she had been indoctrinated into Islam religion.
A college official told The Indian Express: "They met her around 2 pm. They spent about 45 minutes with her in a room under CCTV surveillance."
The couple met at Tamil Nadu's Sivaraj Homeopathy Medical College after the authority granted permission to them.
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 in late November.
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.
