In a developing case that has drawn national attention, officials from the National Commission for Scheduled Castes (NCSC) and the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST) conducted an inquiry in Thiruvananthapuram regarding the controversial marriage of young actor-model Monalisa.
The inquiry followed a complaint filed by her father, Jaisingh Bhosle, in Madhya Pradesh. Acting on the directive of Commission Director Kalyan Reddy, officials arrived in Kerala to collect evidence and verify the facts surrounding the marriage.
Age Dispute at the Center
The main issue in the case is Monalisa’s age.
A birth certificate that went viral online reportedly shows that she is 16 years old. However, Monalisa stated at the police station that she is 18 years old and sought protection along with her partner, Farman Khan.
This contradiction has raised serious legal concerns, leading to the current investigation.
Marriage Details Examined
The couple got married at the Arumanur Nainar Temple in Thiruvananthapuram.
Officials examined several documents related to the marriage, including the marriage register, Aadhaar card copies, the application submitted by the couple requesting the marriage, and the certificate issued by the temple.
The temple committee president confirmed that all relevant documents were checked.
Family Opposition and Complaint
Monalisa reportedly faced opposition from her family.
Her family wanted her to marry a relative, but she chose to marry Farman Khan. She also filed a complaint against her father.
While shooting in Poovar, Monalisa and Farman approached the Thampanoor police seeking protection.
From Film Set to Marriage
The couple met while acting together in a film.
During the shoot in Poovar, they approached the police for safety. Their marriage took place on March 11 evening.
The relationship, involving individuals from different religious backgrounds, has also attracted public attention.
Political Presence
The wedding was attended by Kerala Minister V. Sivankutty, who commented that it was a “real Kerala story.”
CPI(M) state secretary M. V. Govindan was also present at the ceremony.
Who is Monalisa?
Monalisa gained attention during the inauguration of a jewellery outlet by businessman Boby Chemmanur in Kerala.
Despite not knowing Malayalam, she attracted a large number of fans. She later received offers from various states in modeling and cinema and entered the Malayalam film industry.
Conclusion
The Monalisa marriage case has become a complex issue involving questions of age, consent, family opposition, and legal validity.
With national commissions now involved, the matter has taken on wider legal and social importance. Further developments will depend on the findings of the ongoing investigation.
