Afghan girls forced to marry

Afghan girls forced to marry

In many cultures around the world, marriages are arranged between the families of the bride and the groom.

But in some cases, very young girls are forced into marriage, crossing the line into the more sinister world of human trafficking.

Laws may exist on the books to prevent girls from being child brides, but those laws are often not enforced. Arwa Damon has this story from Afghanistan.

child bride sold for 1,000

I thought the Yanks were going to liberate the Afghanis, and freedom and liberty would flow into every city, town and cave.
