Thankfully some common sense in the courts. Shammima Begum's appeal against her being stripped of her citizenship and banned from the country has been denied.
Thankfully that might be the last we hear from her legally, but I doubt it.
I expect now she'll try the ECHR route to gain access to the country.
The question I'd like to ask is: who is funding all of these appeals and all of this legal work? Because I don't think she has the money herself, being so impoverished and lonely, stuck in a refugee camp. So who exactly is stumping up the cash for the lawyers? Especially given now there has been like three attempts to legally challenge the government and three unsuccessful appeal.
Interesting to note that this time one of the grounds for appeal was she was traffiked for sex. Hard luck love, you weren't. You went of your own volition with a group of other girls to Turkey and then crossed the border to ISIS-land.
You then met and married a man from Holland. Now are you saying that your Muslim brothers assaulted you, molested you and used you for sexual use? Because then you're reinforcing and confirming the stereotype of the Muslim groomer. And apparently they don't exist according to most Muslims.
What it does look like is a normal traditional Muslim marriage to a Muslim guy. No coercion, no trafficking, certainly no extra-marital sex, otherwise you'd be stoned to death by your fundamentalist brethren.
This is yet again a case of a Muslim trying to game the system and rely on the ignorance of those in the Legal Profession on Muslim affairs.
