Afghan Mullah Marries, Kills 8-Year-Old Girl on Wedding Night

islam-child-bride

Picture of Muslim child bride for illustration purposes

 

This is a pretty horrific story that comes out of Afghanistan. The source for it is Mustafa Kazemi, an Indian war correspondent, who has been operating in Afghanistan since 2010 and has worked for AFP.

Due to the horrific nature of the story, I am only excerpting a few parts of it. If you want to read the rest, you’ll have to follow the link. But keep in mind that child marriages like these are happening all the time, not just in Afghanistan, but increasingly even in Europe.

The 8-years-old girl whose story you’ll read in coming lines did not make it to the 2nd night of her wedding nor did she make it to her 9th or 10th birthday.

Her name unknown, my source telephoned me last week at 9:30 pm to tell me her story. At the first I thought it’s just going to be a short conversation but later it was unveiled that the story is different.

The story came from a village in Khashrood district of Nimruz province in Afghanistan.

A medical doctor assigned in the main hospital in Zaranj city, the capital of the province, who wished to remain unnamed confirmed that he was “made aware” of the incident and that it was “too late to do anything for her” as well the “remote area didn’t allow them to do anything”.

The girl was one of the several daughters of a man in his late 30s. For an unknown reason he gave his daughter to the Mullah of their village for a big amount of money. It is also common in Afghanistan’s rural areas or 3rd level provinces/cities to marry young girls to old men, and trading their daughters for their debts or other items.

The mullah is in his late 50s and is the mosque guy of the village where this incident happened.

The mullah is already married and has many children too.
The two families hold a tribal meeting, agree on the price that the groom’s family pay to the bride’s family, and they set a date for wedding.

In rural areas like this here there are no engagements or any ceremonies beforehand like there are some in the metropolitan and urban areas.

The two families planned a wedding party, the wedding and Nekah (The religious process in which a woman is officially married to a man) took place and the 8-years-old bride became the 50-years-old Mullah’s 2nd wife.

The celebration party was over and the sun downed – the time to have sex (not make love) with the 8-year-old bride.

The girl was just 8 years old and everybody understands the fact that she knows nothing about sex or wedding or making love or virginity or sexual related topics; not even at a basic level for two reasons, one being that she’s just a child – not even a teenager and that in that part of the country, nobody knows anything about these things nor they are given trainings or education about a healthy sexual life.

Naturally, she started to bleed in a very bad amount, but the mullah was too annoyed for not being able to have sex with her, to care for what he did or her bleeding or her wounds that he gave her.

The girl had her scarf stuffed in her mouth, crying and trying to not raise her voice because others were there in the room adjacent to or outside.

The girl was bleeding and there was nobody to help her, neither could the Mullah ask for help as it was a shame for him. Our 8-year-old bride bled and went into traumatic shock from blood loss and early in the morning around 5 when the sun was about to rise, she passed away.

The close friend of mullah, who knew everything, was very upset and shared the story with my source that then called me and told me the story.

This story reached to me was told the exact way as it happened by the Mullah to a very close friend of him after the girl’s dead body was buried. According to the Mullah, he had a “bad conscience” about it.

  • shahid ali

    ISlam never allow this,,, islam even never allow to have sex with the girl more then 19 ,if she is facing bleeding periods . This thing which is happened is because
    ignorance and extremism. This is due to lack of education. It is totally against humanity . Islam always stress for the cause of humanity…. My friends don't misguide people against islam. Islam is the religion of humanity, peace and shelter.. I think islam is the only religion which provide full protection, respect and a very huge status to women,,
    For example:
    In islam womAn is that personaility who is the CAUSE of JANNAH for their childrens as it is beneath her feet, is the CAUSE of half faith for her husband, and is SOURCE OF BLESSING for her parents,,
    THANKS,,,,,

    • Paul

      respect for women? So they are treated equally? Don't have separate dress-codes? Aren't prevented from traveling freely without requiring some male chaperone?

      I never understood that… seems like men are the ones causing problems so men should have chaperones in public not women.

    • objectivefactsmatter

      "ISlam never allow this,,, islam even never allow to have sex with the girl more then 19 ,if she is facing bleeding periods . "

      Ah, a technicality. Go explain that he should have waited a few days before raping…er…"consummating his marriage." She was probably bleeding from being raped you ninny.

      "Islam always stress for the cause of humanity…"

      Right. It's the "Islamic cause of humanity" that we object to. We're not slaves and allah is not real.. Neither was mo a prophet. He was an evil barbaric rapist now held as a role model.

  • lindascharff

    please understand that islam is NOT a religion, but a violent militant political system invented years ago to conquer all the already established religions and RULE over those people!
    Please read the book, The Life and Religion of Mohammed, by Rev JL Menezes…It is full of facts which we all need to know to be able to defeat this political system…..islam encompasses all areas of life and their laws are called SHARIAH and taken from the koran OR made up….it IS a culture of death! and a very abusive way of life for women and young girls!
    they must be stopped now…….

    • Meliora Cogito

      … right… a book on "The Life and Religion of Mohammed" by Rev J.L. Menezes is an authoritative first-hand account of the life of a 7th century prophet (I use "prophet" VERY loosely).

      • lindascharff

        it was written in 1912 and IS very well researched AND documented with NO political agenda……go and order it…..read it….digest it…..and THEN get back to me….!

  • Miryam Batya

    This is absolutely horrific. In too many parts of the world, the abuse of children is on the rise and authorities are not taking an adequate stand to protect them. At the same time, we need to make a distinction between ignorant Muslims such as this mullah and the religion of Islam. To broad brush all who follow Islam is as bad as fundamentalist Muslims branding the entire west as immoral, or as condemning Roman Catholicism because some priests are paedophiles.

      Mohammedans rape children wherever they are allowed to settle down.
      Mohammedans are 7 – 10 percent of Danish, Norwegian, Swedish population, and 95 – 98 percent of all rapes are commited by them. Well, they simply follow the example of their murderous child-rapist Pig-Prophet Muhammad. May he rot in Hell.

    Are you guys serious? if you know a little about islam, you will see that islam forbids have sex before become adult. so this guy have nothing to do with islam. it do not make him muslim just because he is afgan. if you have knowlegde even a little to prove me wrong say it, otherwise do not comment about a religion that try to make world a better place..

    guys this is not islam and neither our religion endorses such things. Its the same way i start judging every american on the very fact of what obama is doing in iraq, afghanistan and waziristan in the name of fight against terror.
    Its a man who happens to be a muslim who has followed his lust, its not that he was following islam that he did that.

    be rational.

    • thomas_h

      Liar!
      Muhammad was himself a child rapist, thief, murderer. Was he not a mohammedan?
      Only one religion made a child-raping,sadistic pig its "prophet" – ISLAM!
      You can only prove you are against pedophiliac child abuse by ditching Islam. As long you don't do so the honour of your grotesque religion is more important for you than life of an innocent child.

        Aisha was an adult because "the prophet" would not marry a child. How do we know he was telling the truth? He's the prophet. How do we know he's a prophet? Because of his outstanding behavior in always choosing the correct moral path. How do we know he always chose the correct moral path? He said so. How can we trust him? He's the final prophet….

        Repeat for 14 centuries…

  • John Hawes

    Nothing will happen to that child killer, he will not be openly reviled as he deserves to be. Thats the way of Islam. Go to Saudi Arabia to see massive injustice, as in if you are involved in a car accident there, its your fault, as if you were not in their country, the accident wouldnt have happened.

    A friend of mine was a British Army bodyguard for some bigwig in an Islamic country, and he witnessed a young girl flogged almost to death on the orders of the man he was guarding, merely because she was suspected of drinking alcohol, but no evidence was brought. My mate escorted his bloke hoe, and was invited inside. The faithful Moslem then poured out 2 large whiskys, one for my mate the other for himself, which he drank without any qualms or guilt.

    I expect this is typical of many tribal regions of the world where there is a small circle of dominant leaders regardless of religion – which is used as a shield for such animal behavior. Where poverty is high and isolation is strong it is MORE prevalent. I expect because of this report, the “close friend” and the “doctor” will eventually be found out and they will soon be dead. What can WE do? Send in the Peace Corps (the liberal government prep agency for Yale graduates)? It is a dark world.

Why are they silent when the woman in the world who need them the most are in trouble?

    What bothers me most about this whole thing is that ALL of you are prepared to kill all muslims over an event that MAY or MAY NOT be true. You follow blindly. As far as religion goes we live in a country that gives us the freedom to worship as we please or not worship at all. If you want to complain about the LEFT then shouldn't you be more upset with the RIGHT. They want to legalise Rape. They want to make it harder for a woman to take care of HER body. Events like the one in the story above happen in this country everyday with non muslim people. I am not a Christian because I see all to well the inconsistencies and I don't want to live in a christian dictatorship. I don't want relegated back to the kitchen. Women need to stand up while America needs to open its' mind and educate itself. Troll feeding commence

      You are a lying, hysterical, dumb cow. I detest you, that's true, but does it mean I am "prepared to kill" you? Whast makes you think so? Mind you, I am not a muzlem, or a leftie.

      The rest of your ranting gibberish is so absurd there us simply no way it can be addressed. Except perhaps with: "try harakiri! if you don't succeed immediately, you eventually will if you are honestly pearsistent".

      Completely false. Nobody said that.

      We're not infringing on ANYONE"s religious liberties.

      What? Are you insane?

      "They want to make it harder for a woman to take care of HER body."

      Yes, you are insane. Yes, people are out to get you if you don't get your way, funded by "rich people" who are "taxed fairly" of course. How do we know how much tax is fair? When you have everything you want paid for. That would be fair in your mind I'm sure.

      "Events like the one in the story above happen in this country everyday with non muslim people."

      Call the police. We're not enabling this behavior anywhere. Islam does enable and encourage it. Get it? Now who's on the side of the rapist? You are.

      "I am not a Christian because I see all to well the inconsistencies and I don't want to live in a christian dictatorship."

      Gee, good thing you rejected what leftists taught you was Christianity. Otherwise we'd live in a "Christian dictatorship" where the rich would not pay their "fair share" of taxes and lazy people would not be guarantied high "self-esteem." That would be tragic and "almost" as bad as holding a pirate rapist up as a role model for all of humanity.

      "I don't want relegated back to the kitchen."

      Again, proving with this statement that you are insane.

    Dear Mr, Horowitz,

    Why was my short comment consisting only of three words: "I HATE ISLAM" and repeated three times, removed? Does FPM have a problem with numeral 3?
    Seriously now, I dare assume that my sentiment is shared by the vast majority of readers as the number of thumbs up (over 90 or so) seem to indicate.
    Another question to you ,dear Mr. Horowitz: Don't YOU hate islam? Could you simply say yes, or not? Because if you don't (hate Islam), (or perhaps are worry about your website's image islam-haters like myself deface with their comments) I will understand and promise to stay away from your site.

    So, once again, do you or don't you hate islam?

    • objectivefactsmatter

      "Blaming the religion takes away personal responsibility of the evil doer. The only one to blame is the disgusting pig who did it."

      There is a risk of that. I personally reject that. Analyzing root causes is not the same as offering justifications. But many leftists do use analysis that way when the facts become too difficult to deny.

      Life is complex. When important problems are discussed it's best to find as much evidence as you can and then analyze it rationally. Then you have a better chance at finding real solutions.

      This is supposed to be the age of reason.

      • Paul

        Wrong… many leftists do NOT use analysis that way.

        You talk about the "age of reason" as you spout these sweeping generalizations (and repeatedly trying to somehow tie liberals into these barbaric uncivilized acts).

          "Wrong… many leftists do NOT use analysis that way."

          I'm wrong that many do because you say that many don't OK troll.

          "You talk about the "age of reason" as you spout these sweeping generalizations…"

          Which generalization did I make that you would like me to justify?

          "(and repeatedly trying to somehow tie liberals into these barbaric uncivilized acts). "

          Liberals use false moral equivalence arguments to defend barbaric practices with the theory that these people need time to evolve. You can read it here in these comments and in many other places. Why are you defending Islam?

          "No leftist would let this perpetraters religion excuse a single bit of what he did."

          They don't defend the behavior per se, but they object to analyzing root causes because this leads to finding significant distinctions between Islam and other religions. But most importantly they don't want to acknowledge that Christianity and Judaism are morally superior to anything else, even Islam. Liberalism is a corruption of Judeo Christian values. Liberalism is totally alien to Islam. That distinction alone is rejected by most if not nearly every last liberal on the planet.

            How have you read anything I've said as defending Islam? I think Islam is abhorrent. I have repeatedly asked the apologists on here defending Islam to give one example of an Islamic leader condemning child marriage/rape. I don't think they can find one.

            You call me a troll while you repeatedly attempt to draw some connection between this horrific event and liberals here? You are a textbook case of a troll. I have repeatedly responding to you denying only that there is such a connection.

            I have not known a liberal refusing to analyze a root cause that would criticize Islam as you suggest.

            I'm not even following your arguments now. "Liberalism is totally alien to Islam. " Yes… but why do you keep trying to draw a connection somehow?

            "That distinction alone is rejected by most if not nearly every last liberal on the planet."

            If you believe that you are probably not talking to many liberals. Among the liberal pages or groups I follow, strong denunciations of Islamic 'culture' like this are common. I've seen some criticize it saying let's be positive instead about our own ideas, but plenty are chiming in agreement.

            "Liberals use false moral equivalence arguments to defend barbaric practices with the theory that these people need time to evolve. You can read it here in these comments and in many other places."

            I have not seen a single person saying "let's give them more time to evolve". Maybe I've missed those comments.

            At the end of the day, this is a horrible story about a child rape/murder and you just want to try to tie it around the necks of liberals without accepting we are as horrified as you. Does trying to pretend we are so awful somehow help energize you?

            Well if you think I'm a troll I'm wasting my time talking to you then. But you do not know what you are talking about as you claim to know what "many/most leftist" think about this stuff. Good night!

            "How have you read anything I've said as defending Islam? I think Islam is abhorrent. I have repeatedly asked the apologists on here defending Islam to give one example of an Islamic leader condemning child marriage/rape. I don't think they can find one. "

            I might have confused you with another "Paul." Only certain users have links to their comment stream.

            This is really the closest, but it's a weak case: "No leftist would let this perpetraters religion excuse a single bit of what he did."

            My point really is that we don't always realize the implications of what we say. If you're a true liberal, and not defending the PC liar crowd, then you haven't really done much harm.

            Today's leftists use arguments that enable jihadis to continue to deceive. Of course leftists don't openly promote the authentic fundamental values of Islam, but they protect and enable those that do.

            "You call me a troll while you repeatedly attempt to draw some connection between this horrific event and liberals here?"

            "You call me a troll…"

            I didn't call you a troll.

            "…while you repeatedly attempt to draw some connection between this horrific event and liberals here? You are a textbook case of a troll. I have repeatedly responding to you denying only that there is such a connection. "

            I already explained to you that of course true liberals won't try these arguments. You can find it in my comment stream if you missed it. Maybe that was another Paul or maybe you don't get email notices?

            The leftists that promote "multiculturalism" have underlying theories for their positions. There are implications for what they advocate. Those who preach tolerance without questioning how this tolerance impacts the rights of the individual are not liberals. But preaching tolerance of protected classes based on bogus communist ideology is common from the left. Many of these people call themselves liberals and I agree that they are not. It's nice that you recognize this. You should be aware of how most people react to those calling themselves liberal. You should also do some research about the alliances the leftists have made in order to attack those who want to conserve traditional liberal democracy. Just about all of them refer to themselves as liberal.

            I try to use "leftist" as a label because that's the only thing consistent about this movement: they attack anything resisting their drive to build Utopia. They're anti-conservative. How does that make them liberal? It doesn't, I think it's the most benign label they could get away with because they claim to want to "liberate" the "victim classes" they've identified.

            "But you do not know what you are talking about as you claim to know what "many/most leftist" think about this stuff. Good night!"

            So do you think leftists are liberals? I think we disagree and you concluded prematurely that I am the one who is confused about the left.

    Hillary and Obama are helping the Muslim Brotherhood take over the middle east . We are told the Arab Spring was simply a quest for democracy . We've now help them take over Egypt, Tunisia , Libya and soon with our help Syria . At the end of the year we hand them back Afghanistan and by next year they will have have Iraq . Our president is good with this . His middle name is Hussein ,named after the prophet Mohammed's brother. Obama's father was a Muslim, his grandfather a Muslim. his mother married Muslims, Obama went to Muslim schools ……hello just how !#$%^ stupid do you have to be. ? Really .Are you just so naive ? so uninformed?

    • Paul

      You actually think our president is "good with this" child rape/murder? Really? You you just that naive? so uninformed?

        "You actually think our president is "good with this" child rape/murder? Really? You you just that naive? so uninformed? "

        He's very unlikely to be "good with this" but his actions and rhetoric only serve to expand these problems.

        "Where do you get these ideas?"

        From his words and actions.

        • Paul

          Please describe how Obamas actions "only serve to expand" child rape?

            "Please describe how Obamas actions "only serve to expand" child rape?"

    I do not know if this story is true , I haven't researched the source but I know this picture has been used for other stories , so it's hard to say … I don't understand the hateful comments towards the "left" on here , I am a feminist I think this is atrocious and would hope he (if real) pays the ultimate consequence .. But some of you seem very ignorant to think this wouldn't appall everyone from a civilized country … Left or right .. I am sure there are many backhanded comments about the right (stereotypes like cousin kissers , inbreed idiots ect ) but its 99% not true , just as your ignorant perception of the "left"
    And I hope you feel good about using a girls rape/murder as a reason to attack people who have nothing to do with this

    • Mary Sue

      you'd be surprised. Radfems who are so badly immersed in identity politics that they don't know their head from their own arse would argue that it's not for us to judge another culture, because apparently judging another culture (particularly of TEH BROWN PPLZ) is a "sin" and "oppressing".

  • Howie Meier

    To say these morons are representative of all Islam is like saying the Westboro Baptist Church is representative of all Christianity. Get a clue.

    • Paul

      Westboro Baptist Church is not representative of all Christianity?

      Have I heard any other religious leaders attacking them?

      • objectivefactsmatter

        "Westboro Baptist Church is not representative of all Christianity? "

        I don't know. I doubt it. I only know what little the crazy leftists media presents about them. This seems to be a tactic to paint all religions as more or less equal.

        "Have I heard any other religious leaders attacking them?"

        I don't know what you've heard. It hardly seems salient to examining root causes of rape and other abuses correlated with Islamic ideology. Can you show correlation between the behavior of these people and the texts or ideology they profess? I doubt you can but if you do it will still not be a very good defense of Islam. Go for it if you want.

    • objectivefactsmatter

      "To say these morons are representative of all Islam is like saying the Westboro Baptist Church is representative of all Christianity. Get a clue."

      This story illustrates some of the tragic outcomes caused by allowing Islamic ideology to be propagated without strong rhetorical challenges. You're defending an ideology that seems to be a significant root cause for lots of rape and similar cases. You're serving an evil ideology.

      You notice how Christians are always defending the behavior of the cult you mention, right? And even when they do, it's not exactly equal to condoning or encouraging child brides for men who are old enough to be their grandfathers. Yelling at gays or doing whatever they do is obnoxious. Using that to distract from an ideology that uses a rapist as the supreme role model for all mankind is serving evil.

      Think about it.

    This really has nothing to do with religion…any religion. Terrible human atrocities have happened throughout time, by all religions and by those who have no faith…this is a human story..and about how some humans treat other humans. It's about right and wrong, period. Those who choose to condemn or place blame upon religion are really only expressing their judgment and bias. Regardless of anyone's personal beliefs, this a a tragic and terrible act of one human against another, even more tragically in this case, a child. If anyone here were put in the circumstances that allegedly transpired in Afiganistan, they would be horrified. Regardless of who they may or may not worship. This was evil in its purest form and justice needs to be served, for those here who choose to blame faith instead of the persons responsible, have put themselves on the same side as those who justify terrible acts upon humans in the name of faith…bottom line, faith or no faith, this is a terrible dispicable act of human against another. It is wrong and using a faith as a scapegoat will never change that.

      If that's how simple your world is, how did you decide it's wrong?

      "It is wrong and using a faith as a scapegoat will never change that."

      You don't know what a scapegoat is.

  • Liberal Perspective

    The fact that he is a Mullah doesn’t mean he acted upon his religious views. Yes, it is a tragedy but this isn’t the religion’s fault. It is his and only his! Before you react to my response, please consider; I am not a Muslim, I do not believe in religions.

    We live in a peculiar society… This doesn’t only happen in Afghanistan, but it also happens in all around the world including the States. Shameful acts in my perspective but hating on a religion for some idiot’s behaviour is rather unproductive.

    When you look at the bigger picture, it is actually not the religion but the education that matters – not the ones people get taught in schools. I suppose you could say it has something to do with the sense of morality of a person.

    • objectivefactsmatter

      "The fact that he is a Mullah doesn't mean he acted upon his religious views."

      Right. More evidence is needed. We provided that evidence.

      "Yes, it is a tragedy but this isn't the religion's fault. "

      Islam is a root cause since it explicitly condones this behavior.

      " When you look at the bigger picture, it is actually not the religion but the education that matters – not the ones people get taught in schools. I suppose you could say it has something to do with the sense of morality of a person."

      Where do you suppose people get their "sense of morality?" What do you think they teach to Mullahs? He's educated alright. Mal-educated from the non-Muslim perspective.
