I believe she travelled using her sister’s passport without her family’s knowledge. They have tried over the years to persuade her to return...to no avail. The husband is from a middle class Dutch family, he travelled to fight, as far as I can gather.I feel conflicted tbh because hearing what she said about seeing beheadings etc and not being phased by it is seriously worrying. I get that people become desensitised after a while but bloody hell. Thats the worrying part as you just don't know...if she's already desensitised who knows what she could do?
On the other hand, I also see the point of people fighting for her to be able to return - that she was groomed as a teenager by someone much older. I mean she's only what, 19 now? but has already had 3 kids by this man.
What bothers me though is why was she able to go out there in the first place? Why did her parents or other family members not think no way is my 15 year old daughter going off and marrying this man?
Its completely unrelated but I remember watching an episode of True Crime Daily where a 29 year old Egyptian man married a 14/15 year old American woman. He was incredibly abusive after a while (had gone from telling her family 'I'll take care of her/you, I have a lot of money etc), had multiple affairs, and ended up being abusive to their daughters too and would often have them take pics with guns etc, or take pics with the wife forcing her to have a knife to her throat. In the end he murdered their daughters. Who's to say this woman's husband wouldn't follow her to the UK if she did come back?
I am a British Muslim female with South Asian heritage. Being British, no matter what your ethnic background, affords you Privileges/rights that are not a given for much of the world. Owning a UK passport is not just a right due to birth, it is a promise to abide by set requirements, it is pride and a promise to respect being British.So, her family think she is a victim, the government should be helping her to travel back to the UK, and they will bring her baby up, oh and they've hired a solicitor who has just gone on nationwide TV to tell the public how we should all feel about her (sympathetic) and compared her to a world war 1 soldier
What planet do these people live on? Unfortunately, its likely this treasonous snake will eventually be issued with a UK passport, but if her family think she will go unpunished and they can all live happily ever after bringing up a jihadists baby, I sincerely hope they aren't wasting the publics money lining the pockets of their absolute toss pot of a solictor
This is what gets me - some people saying that Begum’s son should be given to the grandparents.Reality is I think she will come back
Tell you something else. The families of these 3 all blamed plod for not stopping their daughters
Some senior deluded plod went and apologised - look it up
Then it came out. One of the fathers had taken part in an anti Britsh demo in London and there was some flag burning
Why the duck plod didn't carefully check the families backgrounds earlier baffled me
Plod looked stupid
Plod and politicians are becoming very irrelevant to certain sections of society and some of those sections are not afraid to deal with things themselves. This should really worry people its not empty rantings
As she has dual nationality, British and Bangladeshi, she would not therefore be stateless if refused entry back to Britain. I would have thought the solicitor would have mentioned that in all the time he spent insisting on what the law actually states. As I said earlier, having a passport, in my opinion n, should never be an automatic given...you forfeit your rights when you pledge dual allegiance.YES YES YES PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE
IS teen to lose UK citizenship
Shamima Begum: IS teenager to lose UK citizenship
Shamima Begum, who joined the Islamic State group in Syria in 2015, had said she wanted to return home.www.bbc.co.uk
If this is true then personally I will for the first time in ages actually be proud of whichever politicians made this happen
Apparently she does not have dual nationality, it is due to her dual heritage. Her mother has Bangladeshi nationality...the girl herself has never been to Bangladesh and does not have a Bangladeshi passport. Then again she had never been to Syria and managed to survive there.If this was a boy/man, there would be no questions about whether they were let back. She cut ties with the UK and pledged allegiances with people who have attacked and killed our citizens. To me, that is treason.
I would be concerned that her lawyer has seemingly glossed over her being a dual national. That law 101.
