Two daughters of a man from Ukulhas island were returned to the Maldives last week after four years in an Indian orphanage.
The girls were discovered in the orphanage after the man’s Indian wife fled with their three children in 2013 and blocked any contact with the father.
His long battle for custody and the plight of the girls was the subject of a Raajje TV documentary last year.
According to the station, the eldest girl, aged 12, was brought back in early 2017. The 10-year-old and seven-year-old girls arrived on Sunday after their mother was asked to hand over custody in exchange for a divorce.
