She couldn't leave the house and her every action was monitored by her husband and sisters-in-law. It is the story of a 19-year-old from Palma di Montechiaro (in the Agrigento area) who, pregnant , had to suffer threats and attacks for a long time. When her 25-year-old husband was out, the young woman was allegedly watched by his family. « You don't know how to be a housewife . You are a woman and you just have to stay at home to clean and cook", the young man, condemned by the judges of the first criminal section of the court of Agrigento to three years and six months of imprisonment, repeatedly repeated to her. He was found guilty of mistreatment and kidnapping.
The accused will have to compensate the girl who was a civil party in the trial with 15 thousand euros . The events occurred between February and September 2021, a period in which the young woman was pregnant. «Your parents are gypsies, you became a “lady” only thanks to me»: accusations and humiliations that the husband justified due to his wife's lack of efficiency in housework. According to what emerged during the trial, in February 2021, after taking a pregnancy test and discovering that she was expecting a child, the girl was beaten to force her not to tell anyone that she was pregnant.
But the violence did not stop there: the threats continued on Whatsapp , where he told her that, if she disobeyed his orders, he would take the child away from her. At the height of desperation, the girl decided to break the silence and report what she had suffered over time.
