Baby sold by drug-addict father returns to mother
A Bangladeshi woman whose daughter
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
A Bangladeshi woman whose daughter was sold off by her drug-addicted husband described her joy on Thursday at being reunited with the infant.
The 10-month-old was returned to her mother in emotional scenes after a court in Chittagong ruled the child had been taken without her permission and sold to a childless couple.
"I am extremely happy that I got my daughter back," the girl's mother, Nusrat Jahan, told AFP.
"I could not sleep all these months after she was snatched from my lap."
Jahan launched legal action in April after suspecting her husband's role in their daughter's disappearance. Her husband, a methamphetamine addict, is accused of stealing the baby from the couple's home Halishahar, a neighbourhood in Chittagong.
He has been detained and will face charges relating to kidnapping and selling the infant.
Court clerk Mohammad Yusuf said there were emotional scenes as the baby was taken from her adopted parents and given to her biological mother.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
