In an act of kindness, immigration authorities have allowed a German woman, who had travelled to Pakistan without a visa, to meet her husband in the country.

However, when she requested the authorities to let her meet her husband – who was separated from her after he was deported from Germany – immigration officials with the approval of the Home Department granted her on-arrival visa on humanitarian grounds to let the Pakistani-German couple to reunite.
