ABOUT HADIYA/AKHILA CASE

Hadiya or Akhila Ashokan hit the headlines across the country after the 23-year old from a Hindu family converted to Islam and married Shafin Jahan in 2016.

Akhila, a BHMS student at a homeopathy college in Salem took the name Hadiya after conversion to Islam. Following this, the family and Hadiya engaged in a heated legal battle.

While her father Ashokan alleged that the girl was brainwashed and lured into Islam, Hadiya stood by her stand that she had converted on her own free will after she met him on a matrimonial website.

However, the Kerala High Court annulled this marriage and sent Hadiya with her father. The case then shifted to the apex court.

On November 27, the Supreme Court ordered that Hadiya can continue her studies but did not allow Shafin Jahan her custody.
