Written by : TNM Staff

Hadiya, a 25-year-old woman from Kerala has been in the eye of a storm ever since she converted to Islam and left home in January 2016. 

Her case has taken many twists and turns, with the Kerala High Court annulling her marriage to a man named Shafin Jahan and her being confined to her parents' home for months on end. And the Supreme Court even ordering a National Investigation Agency probe into her case. 

While Hadiya has consistently insisted that her conversion and her marriage have both been fully of her own volition, her father Ashokan has claimed that Hadiya has been indoctrinated as part of a plan to lure her and take her away to Syria. 

On Monday, Hadiya is finally getting her chance to tell the Supreme Court her story. 

Here are the live updates as the case unfolds.
