Two months after she was freed, SC to hear Hadiya case today The Supreme Court had on November 27 freed her from parents' custody and allowed her to continue her studies at Sivaraj Homoeopathic Medical Colleges and Research Institute, Salem.

New Delhi: Nearly two months after Hadiya, a Kerala woman at the center of a religious conversion row, was freed from her parents' custody, the Supreme Court Tuesday continued hearing in the controversial case.

Key contentions

• Supreme Court not to interfere in Hadiya's marriage, says NIA should not probe marriage

• Hadiya has informed that the she got married as per her wishes, says SC

• When the girl says I don’t want to go with father, how can the court compel? She is an adult, she appeared and made the statement: SC

• It is for Hadiya to decide about her marriage. If she says she has no issues, that's the end of the issue: Justice Chandrachud

• Hadiya made a party to the proceedings

• Hadiya to file her reply on Feb 22

• Lawyer for Hadiya's father said the circumstances leading to the marriage need to be investigated

• But CJI said you cannot investigate on marital status of Hadiya

• SC says NIA can continue with its probe but it cannot investigate into the marital status of the man and the woman

• Whether the marriage can be annulled or not? thats the issue before us, says SC

• We are not concerned with the investigation, it is a different issue: SC

• NIA tells SC it has made substantial progress into the case

• The 25-year-old Hindu woman from Kerala had converted to Islam and married a Muslim, Shafin Jahan. But the marriage was annulled by the Kerala High Court and Hadiya was put in her parents' custody.

• In August, the Supreme Court directed the NIA to probe the matter after Hadiya's husband challenged the Kerala High Court order that nullified their marriage.

• The NIA had earlier alleged in the court that there was a 'well-oiled machinery working in Kerala' which indulged in indoctrination and radicalization of women, and 89 such cases have been reported.

• The Supreme Court had on November 27 freed her from parents' custody and allowed her to continue her studies at Sivaraj Homoeopathic Medical Colleges and Research Institute, Salem.
