Hadiya is in the custody of her parents following an order of the Kerala High Court. The court had annulled her marriage with Shafin Jahan after her parents argued that he was a radicalised person.

National Women’s Commission chairperson in-charge Rekha Sharma had met Hadiya recently and said: “she is smiling and is in good health.” The Supreme Court had on October 30 directed that Hadiya be produced on November 27 for an interaction.
