Zero tolerance:
Pakistani-born Imam Ali Kashif lived in the Muslim-majority Brescia area of Italy and was associated with an Islamic centre.
In January 2026, a reporter on the popular Italian TV program Fuori dal Coro asked Imam Ali Kashif about child marriage. The imam said on camera:
According to the Quran, girls can be considered adults after their first menstruation.
Therefore, girls can be married from the age of 9 years.
He also said that even a 30 or 40 year old man can marry a 9 year old girl.
After these comments were broadcast, people started considering this as a violation of child rights.
The police commissioner of Brescia took immediate action after seeing the TV footage. He considered the imam a social threat and issued an order for his immediate expulsion under Article 4, paragraph 3 of Italy's immigration law.
The Imam was also confirmed to not have a valid residence permit, making the expulsion easier.
Police apprehended Imam and took him to Milan's Malpensa airport and put him on a direct flight to Pakistan.
The action was completed within 24 hours of the controversial statement being broadcast.
The government of Italian Prime Minister Giorgio Meloni has taken a tough stance on issues such as Islamic separatism, forced marriage and child marriage.
This is his government's zero tolerance policy!
I found it to be true after fact checking.
