France deports Bosnians who shaved daughter's hair over love affair

The ministry said five members of the girl's family in the eastern city of Besancon had been deported to Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on Saturday morning.

"This expulsion from the national territory is the consequence of unacceptable behaviour on the part of the family in August, notably beatings and the shaving of an adolescent girl who was in love with a young Serbian man of another religion," the ministry said. It added that the girl, a minor, will be taken care of by social services and will obtain the right of residence in France when she reaches majority.

French media reported in August that a 17-year old Bosnian Muslim woman in Besancon had been beaten by her family and her hair had been forcefully shaved off because she wanted to marry a 20-year old Serbian Christian.

Families need to rethink the way to teach and punish children. It's 2020, there's so much attachment to girl's hair that elders can't just see cutting it as a way of taking away their beauty. Not sure also if ending up in the system is victory for her, wishing her the best.

We should take a leaf out of their book. This quiet diplomacy BS is nonsense. All the people who abuse our locals and our fiscus. Like that cult leader
