Italian court returns daughter to raped nun

The Italian supreme court has ruled the adopted daughter of an
Italy-based Congolese nun raped by a priest must be returned to her
natural mother, Italian media reported on Friday.
The woman had given the baby up shortly after her birth in 2011
because she wanted to stay with the "Little Sisters of Nazareth"
congregation, but that request was turned down and so she asked for
her baby back.
The little girl was being adopted by an Italian couple and another
court had argued the nun no longer had rights as a mother because she
only recognised her parenthood three and a half months after the
birth.
The 44-year-old became a nun in 1996 and studied at a pontifical
university in Rome, the reports said.
She said she was raped by a priest also from Democratic Republic of
Congo in the city of Pesaro in central Italy in 2010 but never
revealed his identity.
"The initial rejection, given the particular psychological situation
of the nun, cannot allow the loss of parenthood rights," the court
ruled.
A lawyer for the now former nun, Giovanni Giardini, said the situation
was "very complex" but she would now "start getting to know" a
daughter she has never known.
Giardini said the birth had been for her "like a death and a re-birth:
a mourning for the loss of her previous life and her re-birth as a
mother."
