There are scenes like in a bazaar in Kabul that took place in the middle of Germany. Adana Q. (26), an illiterate farmer from Afghanistan, was determined to marry a girl. The fact that the chosen one was only 13 years old and that she was closely related to him did not bother him. Apparently, the future father-in-law had no problem selling his underage child to a man. Without batting an eyelid, he pocketed a dowry of 6,500 euros.
After the deal, the migrant threw a round and celebrated a party with his buddies in the asylum center. But the groom had reckoned without his future wife. The girl, who arrived in the West in contrast to Adnan Q., refused the forced marriage. With the corresponding consequences: the displaced Afghan repeatedly ambushed him and threatened him. He even caught the teenager after school with a drawn knife and hit the teenager.
His public defender: “He sees himself as a victim”
The failed forced wedding now has a judicial aftermath. Adnan Q., who came with the great wave of refugees in 2015 and works as a cleaner, has to face criminal charges for coercion and threats. At the same time, there is a dispute about the return of the 6,500 euro dowry. “Do you think women can be bought? If you shell out money, you can marry a woman?” the judge asked him. Answer: “In Afghanistan they do it that way, and here, too. I’m not the only one.”
The Afghan’s public defender: “He sees himself as a victim. He feels used and taken advantage of.”
Then it became too much for the judge: “You have no right to get the money back, because according to German law you should never do something like that. Then the money is just gone.” The court has adjourned, the verdict will follow shortly.
