The 24 year old Al-Maadeed left the UK for her home country Qatar after local authorities promised to provide her with the necessary protection and respect for her human rights upon her return. However, she disappeared in March 2023 and it’s unclear whether she is alive, Khalud Ibrahim, executive director of the Gulf Center for Human Rights (GCHR), says.

    I was curious. From Wikipedia:

    In some cases, a person will be declared dead even without any remains or doctor’s declaration. This is under one of two circumstances. First, if a person was known to be in mortal peril when last seen, they can often be declared dead shortly after.[12] Examples would be the passengers of the Titanic that were not rescued after the ship sank. Second, if a person has not been seen for a certain period of time and there has been no evidence that they are alive. The amount of time that has passed varies by jurisdiction, from as little as four years in the US state of Georgia to twenty years in Italy.[13]
