October 20,2017: The Kerala High Court has held that all inter-religious weddings cannot be viewed as ‘love jihad’ as it upheld a marriage between members of the two different communities.
The court made the observations in its judgement on a habeas corpus petition filed by the man.
The court said, it is appalled to notice the recent trend in Kerala to sensationalise every case of inter-religious marriage as either ‘love jihad’ even if there was platonic love between the spouses before.
The court cautioned that every case of inter-religious marriage shall not be portrayed on a religious canvass as it creates fissures in communal harmony in Kerala. (AIR NEWS)
