Molly Campbell - kidnapped, abducted or something more complicated?
There is always more than one side to any story, and the case of the 12-year-old taken from the Western Isles is no different.
What has been put about by the media has been the mother's tale. I've now managed to piece together some more information from the father's side.
Friends close to the family are angry at the way this has been portrayed as a case of abduction or kidnap. Even Louise's own emotional statement today gave a sense of this not being the case:
"I would like to say to Molly that we miss her so much and we beg her to come home to us.
"She has to know she is not in any trouble and we are not angry, we just want her home."
She seems to be saying that the girl herself chose to go. Reports indicate that Molly met her father the day before she actually disappeared, but kept this secret from her mother.
Molly Campbell was born Misbah Iram Ahmed Rana. She is one of four children from the marriage of Sajed Ahmed Rana and Louise Campbell - the others being Omar, Tahmina and Adam.
Louise converted to Islam and was known as Sheza during her marriage to Sajed. He was a committed follower of Tablighi Jamaat, she was also practising and wore the niqab. Ultimately the marriage broke down.
At the time of divorce, it's said Louise was suffering from various personal problems. She was also living with a boyfriend, and it was agreed that the children should live with their father Sajed.
They lived for a while in Pakistan. Upon return to the UK, out of his own free will, Sajed said the children should visit their mother. The older three, being over 16, returned to him. Misbah/Molly however did not as court action followed for Louise to take custody of her.
Sajed has not seen her since, despite serious attempts to locate his daughter. This is what has led to the current situation. This isn't a straightforward case of clashing cultures. It fits more neatly into the Fathers4Justice campaign.
Initially I thought that none of this takes us away from what needs to happen though. There is due process in this country. It is not acceptable that if the result does not agree with your own desires, that there is another option of taking the situation abroad.
However, what if due process in Pakistan leads to Sajed being declared Molly's legal guardian there? What you have then is two legal systems saying two competing things. Facts on the ground would dictate that Molly stays in Pakistan. Then there is the complication that I understand Molly is also a Pakistani national. No due process could make Pakistan hand over one of their nationals. Even the British embassy would not intervene in a case of dual nationality.
That is unless there was an issue of forced marriage. The Daily Record's claims from Louise's mother on this are well wide of the mark. I'm told she has always harboured animosity towards Sajed, and refused to speak to Louise all the years she had converted to Islam. 'Forced marriage' seems to be an easy cheap shot to make.
However, also consider the situation. Molly/Misbah has three older full brothers and sisters. None of them seem to be with their mother. The sister, Tahmina, actually helped in the taking of Misbah/Molly away from the Western Isles.
Would she is all conscience put her 12-year-old sister in the situation of getting a forced marriage to a 25-year-old? I also can't see a fully grown man going for that kind of thing. I know Pakistan has been subject of all kinds of bad stuff lately, but this is pushing it.
The BBC also clearly still need to learn the difference between 'arranged' and a 'forced' marriage. The former is a legitimate choice of both man and woman, the latter is wholly unacceptable.
