The reason for the violence was that the daughter fell in love with a young Serbian Christian and wanted to marry him.
The deportation order was issued by French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin on Saturday.
The family members he had been deported a few hours earlier from the city of Besançon, in eastern France, to Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“This expulsion from the territory of the nation is a consequence of unacceptable behavior by parts of the family in August. This applies in particular to the beatings and shaving of the hair of a teenage girl who fell in love with a young Serbian of a different religion” , the Ministry of the Interior justifies the expulsions.
According to the AFP news agency, it is the parents of the 17-year-old and three of her siblings who have been deported. The parents were arrested Friday after a court found them guilty of violence against a minor. Other family members, including two non-immediate relatives, were sentenced to probation and deportation.

The family had arrived in France two years ago and for the past year, the 17-year-old has had a relationship with a 20-year-old Serbian man whose family lived on the same property as her family.
There were several warring factions during the war in Bosnia in the 1990s, including Bosnian Muslim government forces fighting Bosnian Serbs, supported by Serbia. And during the trial, the girl testified that her parents opposed the relationship on the grounds that she was a Muslim and the young Serbian a Christian.
When so The young couple escaped and then returned four days later, the 17-year-old’s family adults took her to a room where her parents kicked and beat her.
The two relatives shaved his hair.
Finally, the 20-year-old’s parents called the police, who upon arrival found that the girl had a broken rib and bruises “all over.”
The case has aroused strong feelings in France, especially since the dark memories of the end of the Second World War are remembered when French women who had relationships with German soldiers had their hair removed as punishment.
The 17-year-old will have the support of French social services and “as soon as she reaches the age of majority she will receive a permanent residence permit”, announces the Minister of Civil Affairs, Marlène Schiappa.
