-- "Justice Michelle Christenson of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court’s family division says there's nothing she can do to protect a female teenage Syrian refugee whose father allegedly punched her in the face five times and lashed her as many as 50 times with a belt for texting with a boy."  --  

"The young woman’s nose was broken during the subsequent beating , but despite photos of the young woman’s injuries, her father denies the beating ever took place and her mother 'saw nothing,' said the judge." --

"The father was also previously charged with an offence of violence against his wife, who jumped from a second story window following an assault by her husband."
