The story is sad, but this woman does not necessarily have to go live in her home village. She could live in Sarajevo.
The real reason to stay in the UK is her ability to earn a living is better. Bosnia has terrible unemployment. There is no real government yet, but I think the religious angle she is using is exaggerated.
A lot of ethically Muslim Bosnian women only put on a scarf and otherwise dress *Islamicaly* if they are going to the mosque, or attending a religious function, even in smaller towns. Now maybe in a little village, her claims are correct.

And that fire-breathing četnik is much more a reason to stay in the UK!
