New Delhi, Feb 20: Kerala woman Akhila Asokan, alias Hadiya who is in the midst of a 'love jihad' controversy, has told the Supreme Court that she is a Muslim now and wants to live with her husband Shafin Jahan -- with whom her marriage was annulled by the Kerala High Court.
In an affidavit before the top court, Hadiya said after converting to Islam "I am a Muslim and I want to continue to live as a Muslim".
"I want to continue to live as wife of my beloved husband Shafin Jahan and I embraced Islam and married him on my own free will."
Seeking the restoration of her liberty as she has been under confinement and continues to be under police surveillance, Hadiya urged the court to appoint Jahan as her guardian and asked that they be allowed to live together as husband and wife.
