Muslim father of house-bound girls loses family: "VALENCE, France, Jan 6 (AFP) - A Moroccan man who kept his four daughters house-bound in the name of Islam was given an eight-month suspended prison term and deprived of his parental rights by a court in southern France on Friday.
The 45 year-old man , whose name was not made public in order to protect the children , refused to let the girls attend school on the grounds that they would be made to remove their Islamic veils.
At his trial in December the man walked out of the court after seeing that the judge and the prosecutor were both women."
