A woman who married two ISIS fighters in war-torn Syria after fleeing Australia in 2014 is being allowed to return to New Zealand with her children.

Suhayra Aden, 26, was a dual Australian-NZ citizen before the Morrison government stripped the 'terrorist bride' of her citizenship rights in 2020, calling her an 'enemy of our country'. 

After spending time in the notorious Al-Hawl refugee camp, the young mother later tried to make her way across the northern border to Turkey but was arrested with her children, aged two and five, in February and held in immigration detention.

Turkey lobbied the NZ government to repatriate Ms Aden and her children, and on Monday Kiwi leader Jacinda Ardern agreed to fly her back before taking a swipe at her trans-Tasman counterpart.

'New Zealand has not taken this step lightly. We have taken into account our international responsibilities as well as the details of this particular case, including the fact that children are involved,' Ms Ardern said.

'I made very strong representations to Australia that she should be permitted to return there.

'Her family moved to Australia when she was six and she grew up there before departing for Syria in 2014, on an Australian passport. Unfortunately, Australia would not reverse the cancellation of citizenship. 

'They are not Turkey's responsibility, and with Australia refusing to accept the family, that makes them ours.'
