Education for girls in Afghanistan appears nothing more than an unrealistic dream. According to reports from the country’s Ministry of Women’s Affairs and NGOs, a high proportion of marriages in Afghanistan involve girls below the legal age: as much as 57 percent involve young women under 16, while some of them as young as nine. Such marriages not only deprive these young girls of the chances of education but also result in an increase in the maternal mortality rate. Read More...

I, kindly, ask Americans to respect other cultures. Noone has any right to condemn the practice of marrying child brides in Afghnistan just like the US does not have any right to invade and impose a form of government in that country. Americans must remember that the US was originally founded by people who were looking for a place to be free from religious prosecution. Unfortunately and sadly, Americans are now exporting a very different concept of ”liberty and justice” to other countries. It is a sick and corrupt concept and Afghanistan should not tolerate such an imposition on their culture and country. I fully respect marriage of children and adolescents to older men who will protect them and take care of them during their life. Just think about the high divorce rates in the US because americans are still so primitive as to believe they MUST marry a person of the same age. To me, that’s like thinking I should marry someone that has the same hair color as me or the same car, etc. It’s an aberration from an aberrated system that has turned into an aberrated society but STILL, I respect their aberrated ways and wish americans someday can learn to tolerate other customs and respect the people in the world. When that happens, the world will be in peace.
FUCK YOU ALEX! It’s not a culture u dick! It’s a matter of choice.These young girls’ family do not have a choice as they’re poor and can’t afford to pay for their daily requirements (food especially). Selling of their child is the only choice they have to ensure that the ignorant-self centered-fucktard-parents can live for another day.
I’d wait till the day your retarded daughters and wife becomes a fucking slut then i’ll see if you still think whether your family is performing a culture or not.
Asshole
Oh,and another thing.The old man (retarded husbands) DO NOT protect their young wife. Go google for the death rate concerning the young brides. Most of them die because of child labour as they’re too young and their body cannot handle it.Others died because of abuse.Some even attempted suicide because they can’t face what is going to happen to them tomorrow.
