Asokan hasn't been able to get in touch with his daughter for the last month because she constantly turns off her phone. When he visited the clinic on December 3, he found it closed and that Hadiya's whereabouts were unknown to the neighbours.
Back in 2018, the Indian Supreme Court had upheld the marriage of Hadiya to Shafin Jahan after her religious conversion, a marriage that was earlier annulled in 2017 by the Kerala High Court.
