Dhaka: Numerous reports show that Bangladesh was not the only country to replace its Miss World finalist this year, as several other countries had to go through similar ordeals.

A total of nine other countries, namely British Virgin Islands, Cameroon, Cayman Islands, France, Greece, Iraq, Guatemala, South Africa and Turkey - also dethroned their representatives after allegations of marriage, indiscipline, and the minimum age requirement came to surface.

Jannatul Nayeem Avril from Bangladesh and Vian Ameer Sulaiman from Iraq were dethroned as the Miss World for their respective countries for hiding their marriage information in the entry form.

Jessia Islam (Second runner-up) from Bangladesh was later crowned the eventual winner of the pageant, replacing Avril.
