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.
