1:54Now PlayingThe family of Shamima Begum, who joined the Islamic State group in Syria aged 15, say they plan to challenge the move to strip her of UK citizenship.
Her family's lawyer, Tasnime Akunjee, said they were considering "all legal avenues" to contest the decision.
Government sources said it was possible to strip the 19-year-old of British nationality as she was eligible for citizenship of another country.
Ms Begum, who left east London in 2015, had said she wanted to return home.
She was found in a Syrian refugee camp last week after reportedly leaving Baghuz - IS's last stronghold - and gave birth to a son at the weekend.
