UK news : re: Father abducts his Daughter and flee's to Pakistan - Should he be arrested ?

The point is moot. The father broke UK law, and so has UK law to answer to. If the child wants to be there or not doesn't factor in. She's a minor, and as the law goes, has little choice until she's old enough. In this country we work on a flawed system where, in the majority of cases, the mother gets custody of the children. Following the letter of the law, because the father didn't request custody, he should be put through a criminal investigation and the daughter should be brought back to this country. That's the law, whether you like it or not.
