The High Court was told Amina Al-Jeffery was being kept at her father's home in Saudi Arabia

A High Court judge has ruled that a man who was keeping his daughter in his Saudi Arabia home must allow her to return to the UK.

Amina Al-Jeffery, who grew up in Swansea and has dual British and Saudi Arabian nationality - says her father, academic Mohammed Al-Jeffery, locked her up because she "kissed a guy."

The High Court heard Miss Al-Jeffery left Swansea and moved to Saudi Arabia with her family four years ago, but her mother and siblings were back now back in south Wales.

Lawyers representing Miss Al-Jeffery have taken legal action and asked Mr Justice Holman to look at ways of helping her.

Watch Rob Osborne's report:

Her father Mohammed Al-Jeffery, who is a Saudi academic, admitted locking her in the flat when he went out and having bars put over the windows so she could not shout out. But Mr Al-Jeffrey denied the allegations against him and his lawyer Marcus Scott-Manderson QC said he "brought Amina to Saudi Arabia to help her".

Mr Justice Holman found that Miss Al-Jeffrey's freedom of movement had been severely constrained by her father and that she could be described as "caged" - although was not literally being kept "in a cage."

The judge said Mr Al-Jeffery should give his daughter her Saudi and British passports and pay her fare. He said he had decided that he should take steps to protect Miss Al-Jeffery from London.
