understood in the Pakistani courts was substantially different than it would

have been in the hands of an American court. Nonetheless, as the Maryland court

explained: "a Pakistani court could only determine the best interest of a

Pakistani child by an analysis utilising the customs, culture, religion, and

mores of the community and country of which the child and – in this case – her

parents were a part, i.e., Pakistan." Thus, the Maryland court refused to

rehear the custody issues and enforced the Pakistani judgement.
