'I have to keep her indoors now', says husband of woman fined for wearing burqa...

A husband has vowed to keep his wife indoors after she became the first woman in Italy to be fined for wearing a burka in public.

Amel Marmouri, 26, was handed the 500 euro (£430) penalty after she was spotted queuing inside a post office by police with her body and face fully covered by the garment.

She was warned she would receive another fine if she were spotted again in her burka.

Yesterday her husband said as a result he had no option but to stop her from going out. More...

Don't miss:

  1. After France, Italy to ban the burqa...
  2. Why did the Swiss vote to ban minarets on mosques?
  3. "The niqab is a tradition, has nothing do to with religion..."
  4. This is not my mask, says Australian Muslim woman...
