You can’t question the legitimacy of Hadiya’s marriage: SC tells NIA

News Network

In what can be termed as an interim relief for Hadiya, a Hindu convert Muslim college student from Kerala, a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court upheld her right to select her husband and observed that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) cannot probe her marital status.

The court said that the NIA probe will not have any bearing on the legitimacy of Hadiya's marriage to Shafin Jahan which was annulled by Kerala High Court. The apex court will continue to hear the matter on 22 February.

"You can probe anything but not on marital status, marriage has to be separated from any criminal action, aspect and conspiracy, otherwise we will be creating a bad precedent," the bench headed by Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra said.

"We will only examine whether the court can cancel the marriage. We can't question the legitimacy of her marriage, it is Hadiya who will decide who is a good human being or bad," the judges said.

In November, the Supreme Court freed Hadiya from her parents, who had insisted that she had been brainwashed and forced to convert, and allowed her to resume her studies at a college in Tamil Nadu, where she was studying before she married Shafin Jahan.

After conversion to Islam, Hadiya had met Shafin through a matrimonial website and later they got married. Hadiya's parents refused to accept her marriage to Shafin Jahan, claiming that he wants to take her to Syria. Hadiya, who doesn’t even holds a passport has rubbished her parents charge as a blatant lie.

In May 2017, on the Hindu parents’ petition, the Kerala High Court annulled Hadiya's marriage and ordered her to go back to her parents. She was kept under house arrest for several months where she was allegedly tortured by her parents and Hindutva extremists groups.

Shafin Jahan had challenged the order in the Supreme Court, arguing that as an adult, she has the right to decide. In an interim order on a petition by Jahan challenging the high court verdict, the Supreme Court had on 27 November 2017 set Hadiya free from the custody of her parents. The apex court, however, did not accept her plea to be allowed to go with her husband.

NIA has been getting nice slaps from various authorities for false investigations. earlier it was against the peace promoter Zakir naik & now Hadiya's case. I think NIA has an influence by RSS to distroy the nation and our future generation. People of india should unite together & stand against any injustice to anyone irrespective of caste, religion or colour.

Gadag, Aug 1: A woman in Gadag district of Karnataka mortgaged her 'mangalsutra' to buy a television set for her children following the Karnataka government's decision to continue the classes through TV amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

A resident of Radder Naganur village, Kasturi, who is also a mother of two, purchased a television set against her 'mangalsutra' for Rs 14,000. She bought the TV after her children's school teachers asked them to attend classes via the television set.

Kasturi said, "I can not send the children to the neighbours' house every day and it was necessary for them to study. We had no other option but to buy a TV set."

She said, "Both, my husband and I are daily wage workers and during coronavirus, we do not have work or money."

"I sold my 'mangalsutra' for Rs 20,000 and bought a TV for Rs 14,000," said Kasturi while happily adding, "Now, my kids can study at home itself."

Kasturi's daughter, Surekha said, "We did not have the TV for several months but now when we have it, we will study and get a bigger 'mangalsutra' for my mother."

Bengaluru, May 11: As many as 343 Indians returned to Bengaluru from London by a special Air India flight on the fifth day of 'Vande Bharat Mission' on Monday. They arrived at the Kempegowda international airport at 4.40 am.

All passengers were found to be asymptomatic on arrival except one 27-year-old woman who had had an incomplete abortion and had vomiting on arrival. She has been shifted to KC General Hospital in Malleshwaram.

Dr Prabhu Dev Gowda, an officer on duty for COVID-19 screening at Kempegowda International Airport, said, "A 27-year-old woman has had an incomplete abortion of her three-month-old foetus before taking the flight from London. She was vomiting on arrival. She was shifted to Aster CMI Hospital for emergency care.”

“Thereafter, she and her husband were shifted to KC General Hospital in Malleshwaram. They will be in isolation there. Since there is nobody to look after her, we have to let the husband accompany her to the hospital where they will be in quarantine."

The patient was famished and was provided a few idlis on arrival, he added.

After she recovers at the hospital, the couple will be shifted to a hotel. As per protocol, their throat swabs were taken for COVID-19 testing too. All passengers whether symptomatic or not are being tested for COVID-19.

Dr Manjula Devi, District Health Officer, Bengaluru Rural district said that all passengers were found to be asymptomatic on arrival except this woman who is being treated as a non-COVID-19 emergency.

Ajith Rai, Devanahalli Tehsildar told DH, "All passengers have chosen to go to hotels over government hostels. We're yet to tabulate how many have chosen budget hotels, three-star and five-star hotels. Twenty of them are still here. The process is on."
