Afghan migrant sentenced to 3 years after beating his baby daughter because she wasn’t a boy

The woman and her daughter are now in the care of social services

A 30-year-old Afghan man has been sentenced by a Milan court to three years and 8 months in jail for “slapping” his daughter when she was just over a year old.
As Italian News Agency ANSA reports, he allegedly beat her because she is a female and not a male as he wanted. He also subjected his wife – who he married when she was 15 in Pakistan – to violence, including kicking, punching, belting and raping her. The woman and her daughter are now in the care of social services.
