Supreme Court sets aside Kerala HC order, upholds Hadiya’s marriage
New Delhi: In a major win for Hadiya-Shafin Jahan, the Supreme Court on Thursday overturned a Kerala high court’s order and upheld the marriage of Hadiya-Shafin Jahan.
The order came on a petition by Jahan, who had challenged the Kerala high court’s order that not only invalidated the marriage but also gave Hadiya’s custody to her parents.
Pronouncing the landmark decision that upholds a woman’s right to choose her partner, the court said, “Hadiya is at liberty to pursue her life and NIA will carry on investigation as per law.”
Hadiya has told the court that she embraced Islam and married Jahan of her own will.
