Kodenchery natives MS Shejin and Joisna Mary Joseph, whose decision to tie the knot had triggered a 'love jihad' row in April, have made their marriage official.

The couple registered its marriage as per the Special Marriage Act on Wednesday.

Former CPM MLA George M Thomas was censured by the party for his comments on the inter-religious marriage.

Joisna's father Joseph had moved the High Court of Kerala with a habeas corpus plea which was dismissed.
