Fata Omanović (1883 – 2 January 1967), later known as Darinka Prijatelj, was a Bosnian Muslim woman from Mostar who was abducted to Dalmatia and was converted from Islam to Catholicism in 1899, aged 16.
[1] Omanović dreaded her fate and sought advice from her Catholic neighbors who persuaded her to escape to Dalmatia and renounce her religion.
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.
The Omanović case also resulted in the emergence of the first Bosnian Muslim political party, led by Ali-beg Firdus [bs] (1862–1910).
Historian Hivzija Hasandedić (1915–2003) chronicled the case of Fata Omanović and three other forced conversions at the turn of the century in Herzegovina.
