india ๐งโโ๏ธ Inter-faith marriage gets reservation benefits in Kerala
The Kerala High Court ruled that inter-faith marriages qualify for benefits under the inter-caste marriage reservation category. This decision was made by Justice Harisankar V Menon on September 15 while reviewing Jisha's case in Kottayam. Jisha, from the Roman Catholic community, married Nishu Soman, a Hindu from the Scheduled Caste, and was appointed under the reservation category. The state initially argued that only inter-caste certificates mattered, but the court disagreed. Consequently, the court ordered the regularization of Jisha's appointment and extension of all related benefits. ๐งโโ๏ธ
