Married at the age of four, an Afghan girl was subjected to years of beatings and torture, finally escaping to discover that within all the world’s cruelty, there is also some kindness.

Re: Gulsoma: Child Bride
Freaky, i was just reading tht article yesterday..
Really sad what happened to her :(
Re: Gulsoma: Child Bride
Truely sick.. Its hard to beleive these kind of people live in this world...this is worse than an animal act.
Re: Gulsoma: Child Bride
I admire this girl a lot! she is so brave and wise mashallah...
i feel released to know those who did those horrible torture to her are in jail!
Re: Gulsoma: Child Bride
this is friggin disgusting. what sort of frustrations are these basta&%s taking out on a poor innocent child? and putting them in jail? is that all they get? thats bloody unfair. their skin should be scraped with a dull razor and then they should be thrown in a bath of vinegar.
and how could her mom give her away like that? not even check back ONCE how the daughter is faring? the mom should be jailed as well.
its sad how children with their innocent years stripped away like that start looking older than they are. if only we could return to them what is every human's right....an untainted childhood.
Re: Gulsoma: Child Bride
^ I agree the mom should be held responsible for negligence...its sad how she says there are many girls like her out there :(
Re: Gulsoma: Child Bride
I wonder if other Afghanis wud start saying that she’s lying and making all this up to ruin her country’s rep 
Re: Gulsoma: Child Bride
I doubt it, such stuff happen in many coutries. As a pashtun(afghan) from Swat, I will say this is a problem that my people(whether they are form balkh, pekhawar or kandahar) find solutions to this menace. Hiding it or putting it under the rug is the worse thing that can be done.
Re: Gulsoma: Child Bride
Leave that sort of denial to the Pakis, a poor woman gets gang raped and everyone including the president say it’s only to tarnish their country’s reputation and to get American citizenship.
Child beating is not the norm in Pashtun society, it exists the same way it does in every other society and it needs sorting out but Punjabis should stop selling their children to Arabs to die as camel jockeys before they start worrying about us.
Re: Gulsoma: Child Bride
I feel so sick after reading this. This poor girl. 
May Allah swt ease her pain. Ameen.
Re: Gulsoma: Child Bride
After all her years of sadness and hardship may she blessed with such a bright and happy future ameen. No one no one ever deserves 2 be treated in such a way.
Re: Gulsoma: Child Bride
Dayum its to sick man a12 yr old girl has to marry a 30 year old man.
And then she got beaten by her father in law
Re: Gulsoma: Child Bride
She was only 5 when married to 30 year old man.
Re: Gulsoma: Child Bride
You know, this story is horrible. It disgusts me to hear this and to know stuff like this happens. We are all sad when we hear about this, but you know what...we'll all forget about this in a few days. We'll sit and read, and say to ourselves how angry we are. But we'll do nothing.
This little girl does not need any of our sympathy. She is made of much better mettle than most of us. She probably does not even know what a message board is.
Our fake outrage would be much better spent on helping out a little girl, in any part of our litle sub-continent. This is one...there are thousands more who have not escaped....
Re: Gulsoma: Child Bride
Extremely sad, disturbing, and inhumane.
Her mother's guilty, the so-called husband, father in-law, and everyone else who abused her and watched her get abused.
Police should take every single such individual into custody and deal with them in a manner that would befit such horrendous crimes.
May Allah (SWT) punish the oppressors in a manner that befit their crimes, ameen.
It's hard to believe there are such animals inhibiting this planet.
May Allah (SWT) bless her and grant her success both in this world and in the hereafter, ameen.
