A 15-year-old Pakistani girl was hospitalised after reportedly jumping from a balcony in the northern Italian town of Alessandria.
She had refused an arranged marriage with a 16-year-old Pakistani.
"My parents had already been in touch with his and told me I would be marrying him. I have nothing against him but I do not love him," Turin-based La Stampa daily quoted the girl as telling police from her hospital bed ...
The previous centre-left Italian government issued a 'charter of values' for immigrants after the tragic case of another young Pakistani girl, Hina Saleem who was murdered by male relatives in August 2006.
Hina's father Mohammed, confessed to slitting 20-year-old Hina's throat for 'dishonouring the family' because she lived with an Italian man, wore jeans and worked in a pizzeria.

My grandparents were from Italy and had an arranged marriage. I’m sure glad my grandmother didn’t jump off a balcony.
She didn’t die?
Now her dad and brothers will have to kill her.
(Mom can make papdums and beef vindaloo for the party afterwards, we wouldn’t want her to feel left out)...
...but if she accidentally shows her face to any male guests while serving it, the balcony awaits her too.
Good point. Although a kitchen fire is more traditional. A sari is surprisingly flammable when accidently soaked with kerosine...
Jeez, this is really going to set a new precidence in the Muslim culture — Mulim women wanting to marry for love. What is this world coming to?
She may discover Christianity ?
*legal under sharia law...
Well she survived the jump, that’s a plus. Now will she survive the continued attempts to refuse, survive the offense against ‘honor’, or just be wed off? Sigh.
good thing she lived, now they can have a proper stoning in the town square {/sarcasm...
I’m just shocked her betrothed is 16. Usually he’s 55 and a close relative.
Yeah, but even with the arranged part, I’m sure your greatgrandparents wouldn’t have slit her throat for not going through with it.
He’s probably a cousin who needed residency in Italy via upcoming marriage.
It was all the coming home, smelling of pepperroni.
That’s probably correct.
It is legal (under sharia) to kill a family member who has brought same to the family.
It is legal (and some would say the obligation of any muslim) to kill an apostate.
So what do all the these obamaoids think is going to happen when the muslim “world” discovers that he really isn't a muslim (as they think him to be) and is really an apostate?
Look for death squads trying to assassinate him if he does become our next president.
IMO, this fits the agenda of the dems.
Who says he isn't? I know he says he isn't, I know he attended a nominally Christian church (with close ties to Nation of Islam) but I don't know what is truly in his heart.
Under the doctrine of al taqqiyah, he could reasonably claim that he has been lying about being a Christian in oder to deceive the kafir and forward the interests of islam.
Not only would he get a pass, he could become the greatest hero in all of muslim history. The man who single-handedly caused the downfall of the Great Satan...
