Girl better off living in Peshawar where Taliban killed 130 children than Southampton, judge rules

Judge rules in favour of woman who wants to take daughter from home in Hampshire city and move to Pakistan despite ex-husband warning of terror attacks. A woman who claims her five-year-old daughter will be better off living in a Pakistan city where Taliban gunmen killed 130 children at a school than in Southampton has won a family court fight. The 40-year-old, who comes from Pakistan, had asked a judge to allow her to take the girl from their home in the Hampshire city and move to Peshawar, where her family have lived for many years.

Her ex-husband, who is also from Pakistan, had objected. He said his daughter would not be safe in Peshawar and he listed "terrorist bombs and attacks" that had occurred in the area. But Mr Justice Baker has ruled in favour of the woman after analysing the case at a family court hearing in London. He said he had come to the "clear conclusion" that the youngster's welfare would be "best served overall" if her mother was allowed to take her to Peshawar.
