In 2016, Britain's diplomatic mission in Bangladesh helped an 18-year-old British girl escape from a village in the South Asian nation just days before she was being forced to marry her first cousin.
Two years later, a court has sentenced her parents to jail on charges of forced marriage, marking only the second conviction of this kind in British history.
The woman in question, who has not been named in news reports to protect her identity, was studying for end-of-year exams when her parents took her out of school for what was supposed to be a six-week holiday in Bangladesh, the Guardian reported.
But within days of arriving in the country, she was told that she was to marry her first cousin.
When she resisted, her father threatened to "chop her up" and later physically assaulted her, the BBC reported. She tried appealing to her mother, who made it clear that the plan was for the young woman to marry her cousin - in part so he could get a visa, as prosecutor Michelle Colborne told a British court in May, when the couple was convicted.
