A staged wedding at Disneyland Paris featuring a 9-year-old Ukrainian girl prompted a police inquiry after staff suspected it could represent an illegal child marriage. The event, organized for €130,000, involved hundreds of extras and was claimed by the girl's mother to be a celebration to make her daughter feel like a Disney princess. Although the authorities confirmed the marriage was not real and a medical examination cleared the girl of violence, four people were arrested, including the groom and the girl's mother, prompting discussions on parental intentions and the innocence of childhood.
The bizarre incident sparked outrage as Disneyland Paris staff alerted the police, fearing the event could be an illegal child marriage involving a 9-year-old girl.
Deputy prosecutor Alexandre Verney emphasized that while the event was staged with hundred extras, it questions societal norms regarding childhood, innocence, and parental aspirations.
