Hadiya, alias Akhila, who had converted to Islam before marrying a Muslim man in Kerala said on Saturday that she wanted to live with her husband. Her comments came at a time when she is set to appear in the Supreme Court in the sensational religious-conversion case on Monday.
Talking to media persons at Kochi airport on her way to Delhi, Hadiya said she wanted justice and that nobody had forced her to marry a Muslim man.
The top court had earlier directed Ashokan, Hadiya's father, to produce her on November 27. She will fly to Delhi under tight security with five police personnel accompanying the father and daughter. She is expected to stay at the Kerala House in the national capital.
The 24-year-old Hadiya has been in the headlines after she became a Muslim following her marriage to Shafin Jahan. Shafin moved the apex court after the Kerala High Court annulled their marriage.
As of now, Hadiya is with her parents, who have alleged that her marriage to the Muslim man is a case of 'love jihad'. The case is under the consideration of the apex court, which had ordered the NIA to look into it.
The NIA had alleged in the court that there was a 'well-oiled machinery working in Kerala' indulging in indoctrination and radicalisation.
