A judge has told a hearing that the mother of a girl at the centre of an international custody case has applied for a visa to travel to Pakistan. Schoolgirl Misbah Rana has told a hearing that her mother refused to allow her to perform Muslim prayers.

The hearing in Lahore heard that Ms Campbell may give evidence in person. Misbah also told Lahore High Court she was unhappy with a new person in her mother's life.
The 12-year-old girl has handed over her UK and Pakistani passports to Lahore High Court. Regain custody
Lahore High Court last month awarded temporary custody to Misbah's father and Pakistani police said they did not intend to deport her back to Scotland. The girl said that as well as not being able to perform Muslim prayers she had to eat food forbidden by Islam.
The girl's parents were married in a Muslim ceremony in Glasgow in 1984 and had two sons and two daughters. Misbah told the hearing: "She also started living with another person who I didn't like and that's why I decided to leave my mom."
After the marriage broke down, the children lived with their father and moved to Pakistan. Ms Campbell's lawyer Naheeda Mahboob Elahi said her client remained a Muslim and wanted to come to Pakistan as soon as possible to try to regain custody of her child.
All the children later returned to the UK to live with their mother but are now back in Pakistan. The judge adjourned the proceedings until 22 November to give enough time to the mother to arrive.
She was awarded custody of her daughter in 2005 and claims she was illegally taken from Scotland to Pakistan by her father.
