EXCLUSIVE: Shamima Begum s husband Yago Riedijk, a Dutch convert, insists that their marriage was happy and that they even spent time baking as he paints a picture of domestic bliss in Syria.
In her first words since her daughter fled in 2015, Asma Begum said she hoped her youngest child, Shamima Begum, would be allowed to return to Britain from Syria.
Shamima Begum was 15 when she travelled from Bethnal Green, east London, through Turkey and into territory controlled by the so-called Islamic State before her British citizenship was revoked.
