Alfia, a Muslim woman from Kayamkulam who had decided to marry a Hindu man Akhil, at a temple in Kovalam, was taken away minutes before her wedding by the police after a complaint by her father.
The complaint was reportedly filed even though the two familes had met earlier and agreed to Alfia going with Akhil.
In a video of the incident, the bride is seen screaming at police personnel, and saying that she did not want to go with them. However, the police eventually took her away.
However, after recording her statement, the court let her go with Akhil and the couple are set to marry soon.
