Divorce, the father "sells" the daughter for the canon/ "I

Erjona is only 19 years old and brought her father, Maliq, to ??"See You in Court". According to her explanation, her father married her when she was 16 years old and today she is separated. His father no longer accepts him at home because he says that he only knows the canon of Lekë Dukagjini, a statement that leaves the audience of the "E Diela Shqiptare" program on TV Klan speechless.

Erjona: I was married since I was 16 years old, I spent 3 years with my husband and after that I broke up because he tortured me a lot.

Maliq: What's wrong with me that you called me? I'm the dad.

Erjona: I called you because you separated me.

Maliq: Dad told you that I made you right.

Erjona: Why did you break up with me? I don't have a husband, I don't have a son. I have nowhere to go, you have left me between four roads.

Maliq: According to my canon that I have, I have separated you. You are in your work and I am in mine. I have nothing but you.

Erjona: You left me on the four roads of the world.

Maliq: Yes, I have 9 more kalamaj, my daughter. I am 60 or so years old, I am not at work, I have no pension.

Erjona: You don't have a fishing rod for me?

Maliq: I have kalama, but I have given you the right to each of you to your own husband, to your own child.

Erjona: Well, my husband, he broke up with me. My husband has separated me, where will I live?

Eni Çobani: Mr. Maliq, at what age did you marry this girl, and how many children do you have?

Maliq: According to the canon of Lekë Dukagjin, I married my daughter when she was 16 years old.

Eni Çobani shows Maliqi his daughter's civil status certificate where she appears only with her son and without a husband.

Maliqi is steadfast in his opinion that the actions he performed towards his daughter, Erjona, who brought her to "See you in court", were in accordance with the canon of Lekë Dukagjin. Erjona accuses her father of marrying her off when she was only 16 years old, and now that she is 19, her ex-husband kicked her out.

In the civil status, Erjona appears only with her son, while it is learned that what Maliqi calls marriage, is actually a cohabitation. Maliqi refuses to allow Erjona to return home and the girl is left on the street. He does not accept any argument from the moderator Ardit Gjebrea or the mediator Eni Çobani and blames the "intelligence".

Ardit Gjebrea: That gentleman, does he also follow the canon of Lekë Dukagjini or the laws of this country?

Maliq: I don't know his mind.

Ardit Gjebrea: I don't know his mind? Yes, because when you take the girl to a house, you must take her to a house that complies with your laws, with your canons because there is one thing: you married your girl with your mind, he with his mind is not married to your girlfriend.

Maliq: Ah, your intelligence has made him go to that state! The dusty law in your drawers becomes dust and rust, then what will the people do? And Lekë Dukagjin's canon is very clean and very well read.

Ardit Gjebrea: You read it but he didn't.

Eni Çobani: Leave the canon here now. You with the canon, if you were with the canon, sir, I'll explain, your daughter wouldn't be here. Your daughter would be at her husband's house. Not only is there no canon here, but here you have trampled the canon, the morality of it all, and the girl has returned home childless. What does the canon say, sir, if the lady returns childless? Tell me now! Tell me you're a mountaineer, I'm half a mountaineer like you, tell me! The daughter and the wife return to the father only if she is caught red-handed and steals from the husband's house. If your daughter is caught red-handed or stealing in your husband's house, he has taken her and brought her home. Now tell me, did this girl steal?

Malik: No.

Eni Çobani: Did he cheat?

Malik: No.

Eni Çobani: Then where is the canon?

Maliq: Intelligence has taken the generations out of the rules.

Convinced that the solution to his daughter's situation is found in the canon of Lekë Dukagjini, Maliqi does not accept any legal reasoning. He does not accept his daughter, Erjona, at home, who brought her to "See you in court" because he "separated her with the canon".

The mediator of the "E Diela Shqiptare" column on TV Klan, Eni Çobani, asks him to leave it and submit to the law. Maliqi considers the law "dusty and rusty" and blames political figures for it, and even has a request for a mediator.

Eni Çobani: Mr. Malik, will you let me explain it with the law or will you continue to explain it with the canon?

Maliq: If you clean the law, remove those dusts of the law...

Eni Çobani: Who are the dust of the law?

Maliq: You have the law with dust, with rust. Shake well, clear the law well and I'm against you.

Eni Çobani: What are you looking for with this shakeup, what can you do?

Maliq: Remove the laws of Edi Rama and Sali Berisha.

Ardit Gjebrea: Then I say let's leave the law in the hands of Maliq.

Eni Çobani: Yes, we left it like that, we will go to the canon later, we are not for the canon.

Ardit Gjebrea: Then how is the law cleared? What do we need to clean up in the law? What is the dust that we have to clean in the law?

Eni Çobani: As Maliqi understands it, it means that we clean those parts to extract the canon and go to the canon, but we have left the canon to history. Today we are with the law, with the Constitution and with this your daughter who came here today will be protected! Leave the canon to history!

Maliq: Take it wherever you want, I have nowhere else to take it with the canon of Lekë Dukagjin.

The second part of "See you in court" started with a strong debate between Eni Çoban and Maliq. While the latter insists on the canon of Lekë Dukagjini and says that he does not know the law, the mediator of the "E Diela Shqiptare" column on TV Klan does not spare some statements. The shepherd tells him that a father who marries a 16-year-old girl should be legally punished.

Eni Çobani: The people want the law and the Constitution, sir, and we will implement the Constitution to the end! But in order for you to understand the law, we will make some changes in the law so that fathers and mothers like you who marry a 16-year-old girl must be punished by the law, sir! You should be punished for the criminal offense of marrying a 16-year-old girl!

Malik: Order it! (holds out his crossed hands) Yes, I have the canon!

Eni Çobani: Now sit there and continue voting for the law! Not for the canon that you don't have to read the canon anymore! O sir, you are the father of the hour! Do you know what dad means? A father is a girl's hero! When I was your daughter's age, I was thinking about where I would go to school, while you left your daughter with a child of 1 year and 5 months! Do you understand who you are or not? Your daughter should be at school!

Maliq: I have the canon of Lekë Dukagjin.

Eni Çobani: Your daughter and the daughters of Albanians must be in school at the age of 19, sir, not become women! 19 years old is the age of big dreams about what you will become in life, you introduced him and took him to a village in Burrel and raised his voice in front of us!

Maliq: Where are the young girls today?

Eni Çobani: They are in school being educated. Your daughters, the daughters of fathers like you, are here with me, looking for the children that that boy has taken from them!

Erjona has ended in the middle of four roads. Her father married her at the age of 16 to the goer in a village of Burrel, gave birth to a child, and at the age of 19 they separated. The father, Maliqi, whom he brought to "See You in Court" no longer accepts him at home because he says he follows the canon.

Meanwhile, Erjona has not seen her 1-year-old son for months. During the section of "E Diela Shqiptare" on TV Klan, a direct connection is made possible with her ex-father-in-law, Avni, who accuses Erjona of being the one who left the little one.

Avni: I have been living with them for 2 years. You can find out who Erjona Kastrati is. A child was born and for 2 years she abandoned the child and left the child.

Eni Çobani : How did you abandon the child?

Maliq: He did not abandon the child, sir!

Shocked, Erjona covers her head with her hands.

Avni: He left it at home.

Eni Çobani: For what reason? Erjona is listening to you, you are present!

Maliq: I want to face him!

Eni Çobani: We will also bring Avni.

Avni: You're right, I don't go out for that job, you're right. He ran home, I sent him home.

Eni Çobani: How did you send him, did you accompany him home or what?

Avni: I accompanied him.

Eni Çobani: You submitted it.

Avni: I gave him the certificate and left for home. I have a child in civil status.

After the accusations against Erjona that she is the one who gave birth to the boy and left him at the age of 1, her former father-in-law, Avniu, who is in a telephone connection with the column of "Albanian Sunday" on TV Klan, considers even unable to take care of the child.

While Eni Çobani asks him what is wrong with Erjona, a small interruption is heard and he continues the conversation with someone. Immediately Erjona stands up and says that "the mother-in-law is teaching her" and then Avni is heard saying that the bride is ill with epilepsy. This makes Erjona burst into tears.

During the phone call, Avniu admitted that his son, Lorenci, who is the child's father, is not in Albania and that the boy is staying with his grandparents, which constitutes a criminal offense.

Avni: The epicrisis that I have it on camera.

Eni Çobani: Sir, please! Epilepsy is not a mental illness sir! Who are you talking to? I am very sorry that a gentleman who has eaten bread with his son's daughter-in-law and fathered a son publicly says that the daughter-in-law is sick! It's very heavy and it's hard for you to talk about girls in this way! It's hard for you! That's all I'm saying! These things are not decided by you Avni! You do not decide who is sick in the Republic of Albania! The court decides, medicine decides! Open a trial! I'm so sorry! I did not expect this word from you! That's all I'm telling you!

Avni: Listen, my words are about to come out!

Eni Çobani: The court decides when your words will come out! If I tell you one more time, hand over the son to Erjona Kastrati! Sir, you have a son in Greece, you said it publicly! It is not up to you by law to keep the grandson because the mother is alive and here! Hand over the son to Erjona Kastrati! I am appealing to the city where you live, the police director, the prosecutor's office of your city, I am telling Avni, give the child to Erjona Kastrati!

Avni: The child will be handed over by court order!

Eni Çobani: No sir, you don't decide the court's decision! You will hand over the child and open a trial!

At the end of the "See you in court" session, Maliqi continues to stick to his faith in the canon to not accept Erjona at home. The 19-year-old faced her father in the column of "Albanian Sunday" on TV Klan for the matchmaking marriage performed when she was 16 years old. From this cohabitation, because Erjona has no celebration, a son was born.

The co-habitant kicked him out of the house and the son, who is still small, lives with his grandparents who are keeping him without the right. During the call to the studio, Erjona's father-in-law accused her of being the one who left the house and considered her sick.

For this whole situation, Eni Çobani had a promise to Erjona that she would be reunited with her son, while there was also a strong call for the Albanians.

Eni Çobani: Dear Erjona, I will not leave you. I will take it to the end so that you are given a dignified environment to arrive to take your child, to work and have a happy life with your son. Eni Çobani doesn't do this without the help and support of the Albanians, that's why I'm addressing the mayor, with Erjona Kastrati I would like such a solution as soon as possible and Avni Hetaj, listen to me once again, hand over the 1-year-old and 5-month-old son to his mother and then open court proceedings as much as you want and if the court grants it, I will shake your hand, take it and you will still allow your mother to have her meetings and with all the rights and obligations she has.

Otherwise, sir, you will continue to be prosecuted by the law, but once again, we must make a comprehensive law for fathers who allow children aged 16, 15 and 14 to get married. It is the most serious thing that the Albanian society is experiencing and this requires a national rise. It is a national alarm that these girls do not come here, but these girls get an education, the boys get an education, get the right education and show their parents that they are good for themselves./ tvklan
