In Naples: Moroccan beats wife who refused to wear burqa

Posted On -

A 51-year-old Moroccan who lives in Naples, Italy began beating his wife when she refused to wear the burqa. According to the man, his wife desired to look “more European” and was refusing to wear the clothing he ordered her to wear. This was the statement that he made to the Police in the area.

After kicking and beating his wife he locked her in the bathroom to prevent her calling for help.

However, neighbours in the San Anastasia area heard noise and shouting and contacted the Police.

The Moroccan was later arrested for detaining a person against their will, for threatening and for aggressive violence.

He is due to appear in Court in the coming days.
