The former husband of Slavica Burmazovic, a Turk, took the three children without their mother's permission to Turkey in 2015.

A court's first-instance verdict from March 2016 ordered the children returned to the mother's custody, but the father, despite a ban, left Turkey and now resides with the children in Iran.
