Judge rules no reunion for refugee teen with Sri Lankan parents
A Columbus judge ruled that Rifqa Bary, a runaway Christian teen from Sri Lanka living in the United States since age five, cannot reunite with her Muslim parents before she turns 18. The decision allows her to seek a special immigration status to stay in the U.S. for medical treatment and schooling. The court stated it cannot decide her long term residency but found reunification not in her best interest before adulthood.
