The National Investigating Agency had submitted a 100- page probe report to the Supreme Court in the "love jihad" case.
Kapil Sibal appearing on behalf of Hadiya's husband Shafi Jahan told the Supreme Court that the court should "listen to Hadiya and not the NIA".He said that Hadiya is entitled to make decisions of her life.
He furthersaid, "instead of asking Hadiya on what she wants, we are talking about the venom filled in news channels."
The counsel for Hadiya's father in Supreme Court, on the other hand, said that first thematter submittedbyNIA should be looked into first.
He addedthatthere is an "operationalapparatusexisting forconversion".
Hadiya, originally a Hindu, converted to Islam and married a Muslim man Shafin Jahan.
The NIA, which is probing the case has alleged that Hadiya was "indoctrinated"and she may be incapable of "giving free consent to her marriage."
The NIA had said there was a "well-oiled machinery working in Kerala that has indoctrinated and radicalised her."
A Supreme Court bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud had asked Hadiya's father's advocate to ensure she is produced before them to ascertain whether she had married of her own free will.
Earlier the Kerala HighCourt had struck down Hadiya and Shafin's marriage, calling it a "sham".
The husband later approached the Supreme Court.
Supreme Court has postponed the next hearing forthe third week of January.
