The Indore bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court today directed the state police to produce a woman, who has allegedly married a Muslim man after undergoing conversion on March 26.
The order by Justice Prakash Shrivastava came in response to a habeas corpus petition filed by her parents, the petitioners' counsel Manish Yadav told reporters.
The petitioners, who are Hindu, claimed that their daughter was 'abducted' from Indore on May 5, 2017 and forcibly converted before she was married to a Muslim man at Firozabad in Uttar Pradesh.
Advocate Yadav said that recently her parents learnt that she was not in a good condition at the in-laws' house, and hence they moved the court.
Habeas corpus petition is filed to seek a court order to police or other authorities to produce a person suspected to be held in illegal confinement.
