FRANCE: Newlywed couple is suing Lyon mayor after wedding official insisted that the bride remove her headbag

Ironically, the wedding official herself also was a Muslim.

The Local  The bride, identified only as Nassima A., was asked to remove a veil which was covering her hair during her wedding ceremony at a town hall in Lyon in June.

Nassima thought it was an order and did not think twice about removing her veil. She thought she had to do it to get married and took it off in front of everybody,” says her lawyer Gilles Devers in an interview with the French daily Liberation. He says she felt humuliated during the ceremony.

The deputy mayor of Lyon’s 9th district, Fatiha Ben Ahmed, who asked the bride to bare her hair, told the bride that she looked “very pretty” without a veil.

The couple are now suing the mayor of Lyon Gérard Collomb and demanding €50,000 in damages. The mayor says he is ready to negotiate with the couple and admits Ben Ahmed could have been more sensitive during Nassima’s wedding ceremony.

After the incident the local official Ben Ahmed said she had acted to defend the rights of women. In France, officials who conduct wedding ceremonies are required to check the identities of the bride and groom.

    Always a chip on their shoulder and always greedy to collect jaziyya from the infidel, that’s how muzzies are.

  2. smoothlee says:

    Negotiate what? Ahmed did only what’s required by French law. All this nassima b-t-h she should be humiliated about is how stupid she is. How pathetic. Hey, mayor, don’t be a dhimmi fool. She gets nothing. Zero.

  3. reason1984 says:

    I’d like to know more about Ben Ahmed. Was she working in concert with Nassima to set her up with a wedding windfall. If Ben’s legit, she has my respect. Trust but verify.

    “The mayor says he is ready to negotiate with the couple and admits Ben…”

    Just Say No!

    I dont know about you guys but everytime i see a muslim women in her burkah i am ALWAYS taken by surprise it makes me sick. Even though I have seen it more than a few times…
    Once I was at Disneyland and I saw a muslim woman in her black full on burkah and all the men in her life were wakling around on me. It just reminds me of some woman in chains being walked around on a leash. disgusting

    the wedding was in June> did she really wait this long to sue or has it only come on the docket now? the photo of the woman on a chain is disturbing and disgusting.

    I’d say research the laws of the country before you move there, but who am I kidding. Those laws don’t apply to Muslims and they will sue to get paid for breaking them. Oh the joys of cultural enrichment.

    When these ppl emigrate to another country the only times they should be able to wear a bag is at home or as their being hung! How can any ppl let them come to their country and tell us what they will or won’t wear? This is a lot of bullshot, one day the ppls of the invaded country will have to Stand up and send them home on a ship
