Restore my freedom, allow me to follow Islam and live with my husband: Hadiya tells SC

Akhila alias Hadiya, a Kerala girl whose marriage to a Muslim man was annulled by Kerala High Court in a controversial judgment last year, has told the Supreme Court she wanted to exercise her freedom of religion and choice of marriage.

In an affidavit, Akhila, who was renamed Hadiya after conversion, contended that she was a Muslim and wanted to live like a Muslim.

She also sought permission to live with her husband Shafin Jahan as a couple because she embraced Islam and married him on her own free will.

"I have been under confinement without the freedom that I am entitled to. Even now I am under police surveillance. I most humbly pray that my entire liberty may kindly be restored to me," her 25-page affidavit stated.

A three-judge bench presided over by Chief Justice Dipak Misra had in November sent the 25-year-old woman to Salem in Tamil Nadu to pursue her studies after taking her out of the custody of parents.

Her father Asokan K M had alleged that her husband was merely a "stooge" in a "well-organised conversion machinery". However, Hadiya has repeatedly said that she embraced even before meeting Shafin Jahan.

The court had earlier on January 23 questioned the NIA, probing instances of Hindu girls marrying to Muslim men and larger conspiracy into such marriages in Kerala.

Police, parents, media and NIA were mentally tortured her much.. Atleast if they have little humanity in their heart, let them live together. She is grown up and she can think and decide

ALLAH is most forgiving and most merciful ... it is a blessing for the one who wants to know and understand the CREATOR of all that exists who put soul in our body....to undestand NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI...There is no image of God... WE should look what the CREATOR preserved for his CREATION.... When we try to know the CREATOR, The CREATOR will Guide us to TRUTH. When YOU KNOW the TRUTH... WE Will understand the World which is deceiving us daily now without have shame on those who deceive people.

Only those who are rightly guided can embrace Islam. Driving a male or female to a right path is under the control of Allah (swt), the creator of the whole universe. It is an unskippable responsibility of the human being that they worship Allah alone. We should realize the truth that there a life after death, where we will be questioned about our acts of worships.

Based on that our Heaven & Hell will be decided. It is the duty of every muslim to convey the message oneness of Allah (worship him alone). Those who accept Islam from their heart, you can turn them away, even you cut them into pieces.

 

Islam never accepts a forced conversion, unless accepted by your own will. The recently used term "LOVE JIHAD" is nothing but a Bullshit.

Bengaluru, May 3: Undergraduate and postgraduate students skipping online classes held by their universities run the risk of being debarred from writing their exams. 

State universities, which are monitoring the attendance of online classes, are asking their affiliate colleges to send the monthly online attendance details and this would reflect in their regular attendance. This would apply to those studying professional courses like medicine and engineering. 

State medical education minister Dr K Sudhakar has asked all medical colleges to regularly send attendance details to the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS).

RGUHS vice-chancellor Dr Sachidanand confirmed to DH that the varsity is indeed monitoring the attendance of students. “Online classes are equal to classroom teaching. (Such method of conducting classes) are necessary during the Covid-19 pandemic and the nationwide lockdown,” he said.

According to the Supreme Court directions, students should have 75% attendance to be eligible to appear for the final exams. There could be relaxations if they have health issues. If students are bunking online classes, it would reflect on their minimum attendance necessary to appear for the exams, the vice-chancellors of state-run varsities said.

Bangalore University vice-chancellor Prof K R Venugopal said most of the students are attending online classes and teachers are messaging the parents of those who are irregular. “(Of course) if they fall short of the minimum attendance, they won’t be allowed to appear for the exams,” he said.

Bengaluru North University vice-chancellor Prof T D Kemparaju said the administration has asked its teachers to record details of students attending online classes and update the university.

Mixed signals 

Meanwhile, the University Grants Commission (UGC) on Wednesday issued guidelines directing all universities to treat the lockdown period as “deemed as attended” for students and research scholars. Experts pointed out that the order would prompt students not to take the online classes seriously.

“Arrangements have been made at the state varsities to make students attend online classes compulsorily and students are also serious about it. Now, because of the UGC guidelines, they may bunk classes,” said the vice-chancellor of a state-run university.
