Afghan mother sells 7-year-old daughter to pay her husband's debts

This trailer reveals how the Taliban tortured poor families in Afghanistan by abducting their daughters into forced marriages.
First, the Taliban gave the families a loan for opium breeding, then in return they demand the minor girls for forced marriage with the organization's fighters.
This is a story of one of many slaves in Afghanistan. There is no protection of children's rights. Forced marriage and child marriage are a common practice in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
An estimated 15 million girls under 18 are married each year. Girls who marry before they turn 18 are less likely to remain in school and more likely to experience domestic violence. Everything possible must be done to protect these vulnerable children.
Under Sharia law girls can marry at the age of 6, just like the Prophet Muhammad from the Koran did when he married Aisha. Muhammad consummated his marriage with Aisha when she was nine.
