16-year-old tells about a forced marriage with a 70-year-old

Most of the women convicted in Afghan prisons have escaped forced marriages.

 

 

Women’s status has improved considerably in Afghanistan since 2001, when the US-backed North Alliance overthrew the far-Islamic Taliban regime. However, the forced marriages are still very common despite the imposition of severe punishments by the Law of 2009.

 

Radio Free Europe interviewed a 16-year-old girl who is about to marry a 70-year-old man. The man has promised to pay a woman’s family about $ 14,000 for marriages. Both families belong to the Afghan minority in Afghanistan.

 

The girl’s mom says the family needs a lot of extra money to survive everyday life.

 

– I told them I did not want to marry a man. But my mom did not listen to me. I have no alternative. What can I do, the girl asks.
