Kochi, May 31, 2022: Kerala High Court on Tuesday, May 31 allowed a lesbian couple, who were separated by their parents, to live together. The order was issued after hearing a plea filed by one Adhila Nasrin.

 

Adhila Nasrin said that she and her partner Fatima Noora were physically and mentally tortured by their families. Six days ago, Noora was abducted by her relatives.

Nasrin alleged that Fatima Noora, who came to Aluva to stay with her, was abducted by her family and could not be found. Later on Tuesday morning, a habeas corpus was filed in the high court claiming that Noora was missing.

The high court considered the petition in the morning and ordered the police to produce Fathima Noora in court. The petitioner, Adhila Nasrin, was also summoned to court at the same time.

A bench of Justice Vinod Chandran clarified that it is not forbidden for adults to live together. The high court also settled the habeas corpus petition filed by Adhila Nasrin.

The 22-year-old Nasrin and 23-year-old Noora have been in a relationship since their school days in Saudi Arabia. But their relationship was opposed by their parents. Later, after graduation, the couple decided to live together. But both families opposed this move.
