THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Sheffin Jahan, the 27-year-old husband of Hadiya, has filed a complaint alleging that attempts are being made to reconvert his wife to Hinduism ahead of her being produced in the Supreme Court on November 27.
Hadiya's case is at the centre of the 'love jihad' controversy in Kerala, which is being probed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
A 25-year-old homoeopathic doctor, Hadiya had converted to Islam last year after her marriage with Sheffin Jahan.
However, her father KM Ashokan approached the Kerala High Court alleging love jihad conspiracy in the marriage of her daughter with a Muslim and claimed that Sheffin has links with terror outfits.
Her father had also alleged that she was forcefully converted to Muslim by her friends.
In May this year, the Kerala High Court annulled Hadiya's marriage to Sheffin and ordered her to return to live with her parents in Kottayam.
She has been living with her parents since then with policemen guarding her round-the-clock outside her house.
On appeal against the High Court's verdict, the Supreme Court initially roped in NIA to probe the circumstances of the marriage. In October, the apex court questioned how could the High Court annul a marriage between two consenting adults.
The court also ordered Hadiya to appear before it by November 27. It also asked the investigative agency to submit their report in this case to the apex court on Monday.
Hadiya will be presented before the bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra, who will ascertain her view in the open court.
Her father Ashokan said he welcomed the Supreme Court's order and that he will comply with it. "I welcome the order of Supreme Court. I will produce Hadiya before the court on November 27," he said.
