I was thinking of how most of the 'modern' world dotes on beauty, and what a life she 'could' have had. Perhaps she had a happy life except for the Taliban!?

Hardly, she was orphaned by Russian bombs as a kid. The grandmom managed to get her and her brothers to the Paki refugee camp. Her marriage was arranged not long after the early photo. She hated refugee camp life (too crowded), so they moved back to the sticks near Tora Bora. I think I recall their first child died of some fever. She has three more, if I'm not getting her confused with the false lead's story. Her hubby works 100 miles away as a baker (no business for bakers in dirt-farm country) and sends money home. They appear to live in the equivalent of a cramped mud hut. Life is hard.
