The 21-year-old travelled to meet Melbourne-raised Mahmoud Abdullatif who has turned Muslim extremist and joined IS terrorist fighters in the Middle East.

The pair announced their marriage online earlier this month and are believed to be living in Raqqa.

The Attorney-General's department said it did not comment on specific security or intelligence matters.

The Australian government strongly advises Australians not to travel to Syria or Iraq, where the dangerous security situation means consular assistance is no longer available.
