'I was disgusted with my hus- band's conduct. I embraced Islam, because Daud (the first accused) advised me that by so doing I could have my marriage nullified. I have no faith in Islam, and never had. My father does not take me back for fear of society. Until my fa- ther and my husband take me back, I shall live alone, and lead a pure and simple life. By my two child- Ten I swear that I will do so till the end of my life,
All the accused intend to file an appeal in the Bombay High Court. Pending her appeal, Hasumati has been released on bail. The other three have been refused bail and have been taken to Ahmedabad to serve their term in the Sabarmati. jail. --- ------
