Supreme Court allows a married man to live with her parents
The Supreme Court passed a revolutionary judgment today when it has told a man, originally Muslim, who converted himself to a Hindu in order to marry a Jain girl that his wife is not obligated to stay with him.
The Supreme Court passed the judgment on Monday while listening to the plea of the married woman, which reads that she must be allowed to stay with her parents despite the fact that she married the man out of her own fill.
Mohd Ibrahim Sidhiqui is a 33-year-old who converted to Hinduism with a name Aryan Arya and wanted to marry a 23-year-old Jain girl.
Anjali Jain, the woman, however, plead that she does not want to live with her husband and would prefer staying with her parent when presented before a bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud.
Arya approached to the Supreme Court after Chhattisgarh High Court allowed Jain to either live with her husband or make accommodation arrangements with a hostel.
The high court order was a reaction to the habeas corpus petition by Sidhiqui.
Arya challenged the order in the top court, where she was charged with a number of questions "What is your name", "Did your marriage actually take place" and "Why don't you want to live with your husband".
To all the queries asked in the court, she said that she was a major and had all the decision made by her own consent. She married Mohd Ibrahim Siddhiqui alias Aryan Arya, she wanted to live with her parents voluntarily.
The woman’s request was granted but said that this nowhere means that her legality and validity of the marriage, the marriage issue should be dealt in competent courts.
