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.

I'm pretty familiar with Jane Austen, and none of the plots of her books include this storyline about marrying 13 year olds.
No, the miracle is that government is so efficient at destroying the things it attempts to promote that the human race, after managing to reproduce just fine for millennia, how quickly, by historical standards, plunged below replacement rates once the government attempted to improve things.
Well, it’s only right. WTF?
What I choose to make my business is none of your business.
Your taken Hits Amigo,
Remember 9-11 ?
Sounds fair. /s
I keep hoping that someday there will be a huge reset when the US is rid of trash like this. I know the story is about Afghanistan, but this trash is coming to our country and many people are so stupid they will vote for it. The NYC mayoral race is a good example.
There is something seriously wrong with Islam, but folks want to be so inclusive, diverse and fair that they suppress things like this.
This is far more common that people realize. As are honor killings where even girls in Western nations that dishonor the family (usually it's something like having a non-Muslim boyfriend) get flown back home and killed, never to be heard of again.
People getting hacked into pieces for various crimes, burned to death for leaving Islam, women stoned to death for not being a virgin at marriage...
Islam is a barbaric cult and because its “prophet” was a polygamist and pedophile, this cult allows for these behaviors.
But... for the time being, people are still managing to pretend all is OK. Ticktock, until the next big terror attack, we can't make disappear by redefining it as something else or minimize by slapping a retard label (that's what senior managers in the FBI get paid to do, come up with retard labels) on it like home-grown and self-radicalized.
The ONLY way the West manages to accommodate Islam is by suppression and lying to itself.
This is the sort of stuff that we create to rationalize their behavior. We blame ourselves with an overly self-critical reinterpretation of history, victimize them, and in a sort of way rationalize their behavior today: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0320661/
I’m probably going to Hell, but may this man’s genitals rot off before the poor girl reaches the age of 9. As a matter of fact, may the genitals of anyone (male or female) who thinks this is okay burn off. After they die, hopefully a long and painful death, may they forever rot in Hell.
Makes sense, 6 year olds are so much more immature then 9 year olds.
Surprised they didn’t include boys and goats
Except for the 4.6 million Muslims living in the US.
Do you think polygamy isn’t being practiced?
Do you think pedophilia isn’t happening?
Do you think young girls are not honor killed?
I have seen Muslims where it’s OBVIOUS that you have multiple wives in Texas (it’s just not publicly declared as such). They live together, he boinks the other women and has children with them, but he might only be “married” on paper to one.
And if their numbers grow to where one day they are 3% - 10% of the population, you don’t think they will not DEMAND you to honor their retard cult by not saying certain things about their prophet, not drawing his depiction, staying out of certain areas of town with non-Muslim law enforcement...
What do you think this is really about? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPIC_City,_Texas
We’re at only 1.5%, wait until that doubles! And it will even without immigration. That’s what happens when they have a fertility rate of 2.9 per woman, and 1.8 for non-Muslims in the US.
If nothing else, this is good because it might make a few people open their eyes and ask themselves, “is it really a good idea to let more of these people into the country?” “Is it really a good idea to let them build Madras’s in the US?”
This is a religion that is incompatible with Western culture. It’s just that simple.
No.
As it was when Muhammad married Ayesha. He too waited until she was nine.
Islam is a barbaric cult and because its “prophet” was a polygamist and pedophile, this cult allows promotes these behaviors.
Only an evil person could engage in such perverted behavior.
Treat them as such
Nothing trumpets islam or muslems like pedophilia.
My views on that have changed in a quarter century since then.
Pretty sure it is P&P. Lydia Bennett arranged to be the “particular friend” of Mrs xxxxxxxxx, who was in her early teens and wife of a retired or retiring admiral.
Harriet somebody.
that kind of thinking is what caused the US to get so messed up. If you wont stand up for a kid, (be it in prayer, or action) you may be in for trouble. Jesus said who ever harms a child will wish they’d never been born Turning a blind eye to harm of children may not be a good thing.
Well said.
