Produce girl, Gujarat HC asks police

Special Correspondent

AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat High Court has asked the Vapi police to produce a Hindu girl who reportedly married a Muslim boy against the wishes of her family and who has since been allegedly held in captivity by her relatives.

A Division Bench consisting of Chief Justice Y.R. Meena and Justice J.C. Upadhyaya passed the order on a habeas corpus petition by the boy who alleged that the police even refused to register a complaint of disappearance of his “wife.”

According to the petition, Khushbu Patel, 21, of Salvav village in south Gujarat, was married to Alnasim Padania on January 11 this year. Their “nikah” was solemnised in his town Junagadh in the Saurashtra region, and since then they had been living together as husband and wife.

However, on March 26, the girl’s family “invited” the couple to dinner at her village home. But when the couple went there, about a dozen “robust people” forcibly detained Alnasim and disappeared with Khushbu “against her wish.”
