Kerala: ‘Kiss Of Love’ Activist Rehana Fathima Booked For Posting Video Of Her Kids Painting On Her Semi-Naked Body 

Thiruvalla Police has registered a criminal case against Rehana Fathima under Section 67 of the IT Act (electronically transmitting sexually explicit content) and Section 75 of the Juvenile Justice Act for cruelty to child.

Rehana Fathima attempted to stoke a controversy by trying to enter the Sabarimala temple following a Supreme Court order in September 2018 that allowed the women of all age groups to enter the Sabarimala temple. She and another woman reached the hilltop on October 19 but had to return before reaching the sanctum sanctorum following massive protests by Ayyappa devotees.

In November 2019, a five-judge bench headed by then Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi referred the matter to a larger bench to examine the matter and also clubbed the issues on the entry of women in the religious places of other religions.

Rehana Fathima was also convicted in a cheque-fraud case and awarded a fine of Rs. 2.1 lakh and one day of imprisonment in the year 2014.
