Husband wanted to send wife to Syria, High Court comes to her rescue

Kerala High Court has asked State Police Chief to look into a complaint filed by a Kannur native that her husband is trying to send her to Yemen or Syria. 

The court also quashed a search warrant issued by the lower court based on husband's complaint that the girl was held captive by her parents. The court also sought a report from the DGP stating that the issue is severe. 

The girl, who converted to another religion and got married returned home as she was afraid that her husband is planning to send her abroad. Her parents also said that they are facing threats from a radical organisation.
