Runaway Molly to write book about her experiences

She also revealed that she hopes to train as a beautician and run her own salon.

She spoke of her plans on a BBC radio documentary as the custody battle between her parents remained deadlocked.

The case will resume today at the Supreme Court in Islamabad after a hearing yesterday was adjourned when her father rejected an offer by her mother to reach a settlement on visitation rights.

Molly, 12, who prefers to be known as Misbah Rana, said she had begun writing the introduction of her book.

Laughing, she told It's My Story on Radio 4: "Hopefully, within 12 years I will finish off my book. All I've written is about ten lines of the introduction. I was thinking of [calling the book] Molly's Life. I was thinking of My Life, but I was asking my sister, what will I write ... because I want the name to be something that will catch people's eyes."

Molly said she liked watching films with her brother Adam, 16, and talking to friends on the internet.

Speaking of her plans, she said: "Hopefully I can stay here [in Pakistan] and I'll study and I'll be able to become a beautician. I want to run a salon."

Molly lived with her father in Pakistan before moving to Scotland to join her mother in the Western Isles.

She said it was a big change, adding: "Supposing when someone is living in a massive house, got servants, got everything done for them - they didn't even need to go and get the remote - to going to this wee, small, mini, mini, mini house, a council house."
