A man was being held by police on Monday after allegedly trying to set fire to his grown-up daughter in central Paris. Le Parisien newspaper reported that the man sprayed teargas in the young woman's face and then covered her in petrol on Saturday evening.
The father was apparently annoyed that the woman planned to go out with a group of friends that evening and considered her "too emancipated". The newspaper quoted a source describing him as a "Muslim fundamentalist."
The woman told police her father had been harassing her for several weeks. "She explained he was unhappy that she had a Jewish boyfriend," said the source.
Police caught up with the man on Sunday and are questioning him in connection with attempted murder. The newspaper reported that the man had only recently reconnected with his daughter, after abandoning her as a child.
He had recently taken her to his native country of Tunisia where he had tried to arrange a marriage for her. She had resisted, while promising to behave in accordance with his wishes back in Paris.Source: The Iconoclast
