French police are investigating a staged marriage event at Disneyland Paris involving a nine-year-old Ukrainian girl. Initially reported as an illegal child marriage, authorities discovered it was a fabricated stunt, orchestrated by adults who hired hundreds of extras. The girl's mother aimed to fulfill her daughter’s wish of feeling like a Disney princess. Four individuals have been arrested, including the presumed groom and a Latvian woman. Investigations confirmed the girl faced no harm, and the incident has raised broader concerns about legal and ethical implications.
"The event turned out to be a staged event, with the guests themselves extras invited to be part of the stunt," deputy prosecutor Alexandre Verney said.
"So it wasn't a wedding, but a staged wedding filmed with around a hundred extras. They hired Disneyland Paris, pretending it was a real wedding," he told AFP.
