Kerala 'love jihad': SC allows Hadiya to resume studies in Salem
New Delhi, Nov 27 (IBNS): The Supreme Court on Monday allowed Hadiya, the 24-year-old woman who is at the centre of the controversial Kerala love jihad case, to come out of her father's custody in order to resume her studies at Salem in Tamil Nadu, media reports.
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.
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 also insisted that her husband should be made her guardian so that he can fund for her studies.
Hadiya told the apex court that she wants to be with her husband even as her parents are opposed to it.
The Supreme Court has directed the university concerned to re-admit Hadiya and grant her hostel facility.
It has also asked Kerala police to provide thewoman with security.
