A West Yorkshire teenager allegedly suffered physical abuse in a bid to enter her into a forced marriage in Bangladesh.
Leeds Crown Court heard how the 19-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was lured on a sham holiday to Bangladesh in July 2016.
Her parents are on trial via a Bengal interpreter. They both deny charges of attempting to coerce their daughter into marrying without her consent.
The trial continues.
