"If a father tried to get help for his daughter he would be arrested for opium trading.'' Would that be so much worse than selling your daughter? I wonder.

It would be when your other kids, and this one, starved to death or ended up in 'slavery' anyhow after you went to prison. This isn't exactly suburban Long Island we're talking about here..

It's just cultural differences, you know. We shouldn't judge what we don't understand. /sarcasm

I can see New York Times Headline. "US Goverment interference in Afghanistan calling for destruction of crops forces local farmer to sell daughter into slavery. Bush Administration to blame."

Yeah, if the MSM decides to run with this story it will definitely be the fault of the Bush administration.

Arranged marriages may not be all that bad. This poor man is relieved of his debt and his obligation to provide for his daughter while the daughter is guaranteed room and board. Not a bad deal for all. Somewhat of a win win.

Been going on for donkey's years. With or without opium in the equation, the general disregard and disrespect for women makes it OK. Blame the culture and the RELIGION, that more or less makes it acceptable. NO regard for the life of your OWN child???? Nice religion, nice culture!

Remember in "enlightened" Muslim societies women and particularly girls are seen as little more than property.

My God, and Ted Kennedy is calling to get the troops out. I say keep them there.

Zeva's eyes filled with tears as the 10-year-old's father took her by the arm and handed her over to the man from whom he had borrowed 50,000 afghanis...
"In a year or 18 months I will marry her off to my youngest son," he said. "He is 19 years old...
Arranged marriage? This girl will be 12 years old max when she is married off to a then 21 year old. That is not marriage it's child molestation. You think that is win win? Not a bad deal? Does the idea of slavery bother you?

""Can a 10 year old girl have babies???""
(the age can be anywhere between 9-17, but mostly 12-15)
If she is physically mature enough to be impregnated, she is at high risk for dying in childbirth or having a still born. Her body most probably cannot handle carrying a baby to term.

How old was Mohammed's last wife? Nine when married, twelve when the marriage was consummated?
To: LauraleeBraswell; lbmorris11
Why do you assume marriage means sex ? I know other cultures use and have used marriage as a means of supporting many women. I don't want to use our culture to judge another without full knowledge of what their culture is actually doing.

You think that is win win? Not a bad deal? Does the idea of slavery bother you?As opposed to starving to death ? Yes. When given a choice between death and child marriage I would choose marriage for my daughter. At least she would be cared for by her new husband and her future children. Her other option is to beg on the streets and possibly be raped and then get a death sentence for having sex outside of marriage ?

Raycpa you have a very good point. In survival mode Desperate things must be done.
These people are animals and Given that the choices are most likely what Raycpa has said it is understandable. It's human nature to always choose life. Survival.
