That is a good question and one which even The President of the Supreme Court acknowledges has no perfect solution.
Since her father is a Bangladeshi citizen then, if she really does want to leave Syria, that is her most obvious next recourse attempt although she will face an at-least equal refusal from there by all accounts.
According to recognized international law she might well be regarded as Bangladeshi, but that obviously does not mean that Bangladesh will accept her.
As for the argument regarding revokation of British citizenship the Supreme Court also ruled that Begum's appeal against this should be "postponed" until she can participate without "public safety being compromised."
In effect the ruling means that her case against the UK is on pause, maybe indefinately.
My personal opinion is that this is her own fault.
Had she shown at least some remorse, either verbally or in the interviews shown on our media, the outcome might - just "might" - have been different.
