In India, the Supreme Court has upheld the right of interfaith marriage, in a high-profile case of a Hindu woman who married a Muslim man. In its ruling, the Supreme Court affirmed that the 26-year-old student named Hadiya has the right to choose her husband, Shafin Jahan, and convert to Islam, despite the opposition of her father, who tried to have the marriage nullified by claiming his daughter had been forced into the marriage as part of a plot by ISIS to recruit her to fight in Syria. The Supreme Court’s ruling is a major blow to right-wing Hindu nationalists, who have tried to brand interfaith marriage between Hindus and Muslims as “love jihad.”
