A six-year-old girl has allegedly been forced to marry a 45-year-old man in Afghanistan after she was given away for money.
The haunting photo of an older man and a little girl standing together horrified even the Taliban, who intervened with the union.
The youngster had allegedly been exchanged by her father for money to a man who already has two wives, it was reported by Amu.tv.
The marriage was allegedly set to take place on Friday in Helmand province but the Taliban stepped in and arrested both men involved.
No charges were brought against them but they have forced the creep to wait until the girl is nine before he can take her home, local media said.
UN Women reported last year that there has been a 25 per cent rise in child marriages in Afghanistan after the Taliban banned girls' education in 2021. They also said there has been a 45 per cent increase in child bearing across the country.
In the same year as the Taliban came to power, after the US' heavily criticised exit, a nine-year-old girl who was sold by her father to a 55-year-old man as a child bride was rescued by a charity.
Parwana Malik was sold for the equivalent of £1,600 in land, sheep and cash to a stranger named Qorban so her father Abdul Malik could pay for food.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
And these are the people trying to take over the world. New York City is on the verge with Mandummy.
Well…..there…you…..go.
And the little boys are hoping this distracts him.
The Bee, huh? WHAT!
The haunting photo of an older man and a little girl standing together horrified even the Taliban …Not if they said that he had to wait until she’s nine, which is the age at which Mahomet raped Aisha according to the Hadith. (He “married” Aisha when she was six.)
Sick freaks.
You are correct
About $2200 US dollars. Cultural "norms" aside, both men are sick. Just like human traffickers in this country and their "customers".
Probably worth noting the amazing Jane Austen and her works. The prototypical RomComs.
It was common for officers at sea in the Royal Navy to have a wife at home die in childbirth. Then he would complete a career, up to Admiral, age 50ish, and seek a new wife and children.
Times were hard. Parents would agree to a marriage of their 13 year old daughter to such an officer nearing retirement. He agreed to keep his hands off of her for X years, while she (and they, the parents) receive some portion of his salary sent home for her upkeep. This was very common and normal and ensured the survival of her family, and, indeed, her prominence as the most powerful woman of her town after the admiral’s death.
Point being . . . there is lots of semi respectable precedent.
I thought this might have been the UK at first. I guess they’re not progressive enough yet.
Quick FJB, give that guy a US Visa, food stamps and Sec 8 housing!
Diversity!
Anyone remember the story of the muslim marrying a 8 yr old who insisted on consummating the marriage THAT NIGHT.
She died.
> he must wait until she is NINE
Finally some rational thinkers got involved.
These people and their false religion are utter garbage.
Six years or six months? 🐷
This is really none of our business.
Let’s take a minute to give some credit to the UK Daily Mail. They still have the courage to report on stories that would offend the UK’s peaceful Muslim invaders.
I wonder how long it will be before the UK Daily Mail gets a visit from the British thought police. The charge: Islamophobia (of course).
Islam is a cult that celebrates the most base human emotions and desires. While every other religion aims to curb man’s lust and violence islam celebrates and encourages it. It is an evil satanic cult and has no place in society.
