Molly Campbell staying in pakistan

linkski (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/12/08/umolly108.xml)So, anyone else think there's a serious problem with the justice system here?

I mean, yes, she wants to stay with her father. Yes, I agree that the what the child wants is always the important point, and as such yes, if she wants to saty there then she should. Particularly if all the problems she claims to have had with her mother are true.

That said, the courts ordered that she stay with her mother. Instead of going through the courts to stay with her father, she ilegally leaves the country, and now the pakistani courts are allowing said ilegal actions, mainly becasue her mother's an "apostate"?

Sorry, maybe I'm missing something here but what happened to following the legal system? What happened to doing things properly rather than going and causing a huge fracas over nothing? hell, what happened to international relations? What we've got here is a pakistani court overturning the order of a british court on a matter that's covered under the scottish legal system. Is this really neccesary?

Who? :P

Cares?

And living in Pakistan is a brilliant move on her part, imho.

[Aratos]

I think you're ignoring the "was taken from the country ilegally" part...

[Kyaa the Catlord]

Wow, I still don't care.

Sounds like Misbah knew what she was getting into when her sister, who lives in Pakistan, showed up and took her to the airport.

We should allow people who are dumb enough to make bad choices live with the consequences.

The funny thing is a friend of my father's did the exact same thing and brought his kid illegally to Egypt from America after getting divorced.

Kid just finished med school, too.

did her mother ever try to bring her back to the states.

[Aratos]

Just becasue it works doesn't make it right.

Actually, I'm more worried becasue I look at things in the big picture. I fher mother's really the sort of person I think she is, she won't let it drop. If the pakistani courts continue like this, the executive will get involved. The executive is full of idiots. International relations will be damaged. "Islamophobia" accusations will inevitably emerge once again. I'm sick of all this political nonsense, I really am.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, but he hid him too well. His father recently told him about his mother and I think he went to visit her.

I wonder if he was mad at him. I would have been.:mad:

[Aratos]

You'd be amazed how some people can come up with completely rational opinions for everything.

[YamPuff]

It was religion vs. legal system. *shrug* Who's right, who's wrong? No one knows. In the end, the kid came out happy, healthy and perfectly in order. Which is the most important thing.

[Gogatsu]

so did he think his mother was dead?
