I'd love to see what her daughters look like....if they are as stunning as she was.

I for one think she is still beautiful, and could be stunning if she had Western style clothing and hair, makeup etc. In fact, as a very attractive and green-eyed young woman, she was probably able to marry one of the most eligible (financially) bachelors that her string of villages had to offer, and would have had available to her anything on sale there...

As for poster above stating that she had 3 living daughters but no sons, Muslim men to whom sons are important usually take a second wife to improve the genetic odds...

But in a country where young women can sometimes be bought for $50, her (teenage) looks look like $2500 country to me...and she would probably still be snapped up if she suffered a divorce.

As to posters above saying that she had to ask her husband's permission to lift her veil, I would say that would be just a decent civil and customary thing for ANY married woman to do in a Muslim nation, and even in America if a woman's image were to be widely distributed and made available, a virtual second career in a sense, wouldn't it be nice to see how her husband felt about it?

I feel sure that in order to obtain her travel and co-operation to visit this photographer in the comfort of Pakistan, etc. that an amount changed hands, which I shall estimate at $12,000 USA.

Inshallah, in Afghanistan that will keep her and her family in comfortable circumstances for life, and by local standards my feeling is they already were...
