A 15-year-old Pakistani girl who jumped from a balcony in northern Italy after refusing an arranged marriage says she wants to become an Italian citizen.
"I no longer want to be Pakistani," said the girl, named only as 'Piccola' by Turin-based daily La Stampa.
An investigation is being opened into Piccola's desperate attempt to escape the future her parents planned for her - marriage to a teenage Pakistani cousin.
"They had agreed to marry me to my cousin, a 16-year-old who I don't love," she said.
Piccola is currently in hospital with a broken leg after leaping from her family's balcony in the town of Alessandria.
Piccola, who has grown up in Italy, is said to be well integrated here. She wears western-style clothes as well as a headscarf and has Italian friends.
Off with her head!
In ten years she’ll be a lawyer agitating for Pakistani immigrants rights.
They’ll get her for sure...
I hope the Italians offer her some kind of sanctuary. When one of my daughters was in high school in New York City, her friend (also 14) disappeared from school because her Albanian Muslim father had married her off to his 56 year old friend. The girl had told my daughter that she was terrified that this would happen to her. It did, but the public school system did nothing except cross her off the attendance list.
That’s just SICK!
Ewwwwwwwww
If she had said "I no longer want to be mohammedan" I would disagree with you.
“That’s just SICK!”
That’s what Albanians do, seriously. There’s usually an exchange of livestock involved, most often goats. By the way, Albanians are also prominent financers of the McCain campaign and the major white slavers and drug runners of Europe.
“desperate attempt to escape the future her parents planned for her - marriage to a teenage Pakistani cousin.”
Ewwwwwwwww

Yea I know! I never want to hear another West Virginia incest joke again!!!
Keep in mind that even if she was thinking that exact thing, it would take a lot of courage to actually say it out loud.
