Why YOU Should Be Furious About the Courts’ Treatment of Hadiya

in questions •  7 years ago 

Can anyone, including the Supreme Court of India, question the actions of a grown adult woman who hasn’t broken the law?

Can unproved allegations of “indoctrination” become grounds to say an adult woman can’t make her own decisions?

Why did the Kerala High Court annul a marriage between two consenting adults which neither had objected to?

These are questions we should be asking about the Hadiya case – a case about an adult woman who converted to Islam of her own free will, and decided to marry another Muslim, Shafin Jahan, of her own free will, as stated numerous times.

Even though the Supreme Court has now plucked Hadiya out of the custody of her parents, and let her go back to college, it’s equally important to note what the Supreme Court did not do – which still suggests that this whole thing is still being treated the wrong way, and that all the wrong questions are still being asked.
