""A family had bought the young woman, Sahar Gul, from her stepbrother for $5,000 and had forced her to marry in 2011, when she was just 13 or 14. When she refused to consummate the marriage, her in-laws locked her in a basement, where they burned her with hot wires, pulled out her fingernails and twisted her skin with pliers for months."" Inhumane treatment. And the court overturns the conviction??? Thank God for strong Afghan Civil Society who fight really hard for such young girls rights indigenously. They are the real investment, the real hope, the real turnaround that we should focus on if Afghanistan is to be a success story.
