What a neat story. Not only does she get to escape the forced marriage she loathed, she found someone she loved and married him instead! While I disagree with the original deportation, I am glad that Canada was able to find a way to allow her back into the country. What woman of her age would want to be married to a sixty year old man anyway! Glad things had a happy ending for her.
