Story
In the spring of 1899, Fata's father Osman Omanović's arranged for his 16-year-old daughter to marry an old friend of his.[1] Omanović dreaded her fate and sought advice from her Catholic neighbors who persuaded her to escape to Dalmatia and renounce her religion.[2] On the night of 2–3 May 1899, Fata met up with a Catholic guide who led her on the 32-kilometer journey to Dalmatia.[3]
In the coming days, the Omanović family learned that Fata had been taken to a monastery, baptized and accepted into the Catholic Church. On 5 May 1899, several leading Muslims of Mostar organized a protest meeting due to the kidnapping of young Fata Omanović by Catholic missionaries who took her to a monastery and baptized her.
According to Belgrade daily "Vreme", by 1940 Fata lived in Ljubljana as Darinka Prijatelj.[7] She died there in 1967.[8]
