MADRID - A Moroccan minor forced to marry in her country of origin and resident in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona) was rescued by the 'Mossos d'Esquadra', the Catalan police agents, thanks to the cooperation of her former Italian teacher. The agents arrested the 27-year-old husband of the young girl and charged him with mistreatment and sexual abuse, according to investigation sources quoted by El Periodico. The alarm was raised in Italy in early March by one of the teachers of the girl who reported that her former student had been forced by her family to get married in Morocco, during a trip they made to the Maghreb country.
