WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court seems divided over whether a California woman has the right to know why her husband from Afghanistan was denied a visa to enter the United States.
The justices heard arguments Monday in the case of Fauzia Din, a naturalized U.S. citizen who sued the government after her husband was rejected.
Her husband had worked as a clerk in the Afghan government when it was controlled by the Taliban. But the U.S. embassy in Pakistan offered no factual explanation for refusing his visa request, other than to cite a law giving the government broad discretion to deny visas based on “terrorist activities.”
His wife argues that the visa rejection triggers her marital rights under the Constitution and that she deserves to know the specific reason for the denial.
