Bangladesh’s highest court has ruled that a woman who took her life four years ago is a Muslim and can be buried alongside her husband, ending a high-profile legal battle over interfaith marriage.The court ruled last week that Hosne Ara Lazu did convert to Islam after marrying Humayun Farid Lazu in 2013, despite her family’s insistence that she returned to Hinduism before her death.The families opposed the union between a Muslim and a Hindu and pressured them to call off the match. The girl’s father went so far as to file allegations with police of kidnapping against the young man. (AFP)
