(ANSA) A Muslim girl was held captive by her family to stop her seeing a Hindu boy, Italian police reported Thursday.
The incident happened in the Tuscan city of Arezzo last weekend, they said.
The girl managed to get an email to Carabinieri who came and freed the Pakistani girl, who had been frequenting an Indian boy, sources said.
The family had confiscated the girl’s mobile phone and only let her out of the house under family escort on very few occasions, police said.
She sent the email on a computer she was being allowed to use for distance learning, police said.
