Watch: In one of the most extreme examples of domestic violence exposed in Afghanistan, A 13-year-old girl was sold by her brother to forced marriage with her uncle who pulled out her fingernails, beat her, broke her fingers and burned her body with hot pokers.
Child marriage is still practiced all over the Arab-Muslim world in countries such as Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, etc.
An estimated 15 million girls under 18 are married each year. Girls who marry before they turn 18 are less likely to remain in school and more likely to experience domestic violence. Everything possible must be done to protect these vulnerable children.
Under Sharia law girls can marry at the age of 6, just like the Prophet Muhammad from the Koran did when he married Aisha. Muhammad consummated his marriage with Aisha when she was nine.
