In the case of Kerala's well-known alleged love jihad case, the Supreme Court tells Hadiya's wedding valid. The Supreme Court said that Hadiya has the freedom to live a life of her choice. She can take legal decisions related to life.

Earlier, the Kerala High Court had canceled the marriage of Hadiya and Shafin. Thus, after the Supreme Court's decision, both of them can live like husband and wife.In May 2017, the Kerala High Court canceled the marriage of Hadia with Shafin and handed Hadiya to her parents. Shafin, on this, challenged the High Court's decision in the Supreme Court.

Significantly, NIA was also investigating this case on the complaints of rising jihad in Kerala. The Supreme Court hearing on Thursday (March 8th) said that the Kerala High Court should not cancel the marriage. Hadia has the freedom to live her life and fulfill dreams.

Commenting on the NIA's investigation, the apex court said that when two adults marry their wishes, how can they be examined? Yes, if the government thinks that after the marriage, any one in the couple is trying to flee abroad with the wrong intention, then the government can take action against them.

Congress leader and senior lawyer Kapil Sibal has argued for Hadiya's husband Shafin. Sibal said that choosing a life partner of your choice is the fundamental right of everybody. The High Court does not have the right to cancel the marriage of someone only on someone's petition. The Indian Constitution entitles everyone to live with respect and freedom. Sibal argued that till no one filed a complaint against anyone in the couple, the third has no right to question their marriage.
