A British woman who was "pressured" into marrying her Pakistani uncle is facing death by stoning.
The pair have been accused of adultery, an act which is illegal under Shariah Law.
It is understood that she has returned to the UK, although her uncle has been arrested by police and has been incarcerated while the investigation is carried out.
A Pakistani police report has claimed that the British woman married the man willingly, later conceiving his child so that he would be able to get into the UK.

However, the woman, said to be in her 30s, explained in a now-deleted video that she was "pressured" into visiting Pakistan to marry her mother's brother so that he could gain "documentation" which would let him live in Britain.
After she married him in Pakistan in 2021, she lived with him for approximately a month and soon became pregnant.
She said: "He told me that I would help him in his travel to England and in return he will get a car, home and a lot of money and our life would be settled.
"Now, he is not bothering about his baby and me. He has tarnished my life and I need help."
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Once the Pakistani villagers alerted the relevant religious authorities of the scandal, the man admitted that he married his niece to local elders and Islamic clerics, MailOnline has reported.
The report revealed details of the case, including that his motivation was "just to get the entry in United Kingdom through the British Pakistani [bride]".
Later, a legal opinion from the Department of Prosecution described the couple as "the real culprits".
The report read: "The relationship between maternal uncle and real niece has been revealed, the marriage between them is not permissible in Shariah."
"Establishing marital relations on the basis of such a marriage is forbidden and falls under the category of adultery."

The report has confirmed that the man will be "registered for the crimes" who went into hiding at first but has now been arrested in Pakistan, along with one of the marriage witnesses.
Speaking from the woman's family home in Britain, her father said: "We have heard what is happening in Pakistan, but we have not heard from her.
"We did not want her to marry him. We did not approve the marriage and we tried to talk her out of it.
"We don't have anything to do with her anymore and I don't know where she lives now."
