A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on Tuesday allowed a woman to go along with her lesbian friend and live together after they expressed their willingness to live together.
The Bench passed the order while allowing a habeas corpus petition filed by Adila Nazerin of Aluva alleging that her lover Fathima Noora of Kozhikode had been illegally detained by her parents.
In her petition, Ms. Nazerin pointed out that she was a lesbian by choice. In fact, she was in a relationship with 23-year-old Ms. Noora. Both of them were Orthodox Muslims and their parents took objection to their relationship. In fact, they were family friends. While the petitioner was studying in Class XII, she met Ms. Noora and both fell in love with each other.
