Afghan mother says she wed 13-year-old daughter to 30-year-old man to support family
Child marriages are increasing across Afghanistan, fueled by Taliban regulations that permit the practice while blocking girls from attending school. Facing severe poverty, many households are giving away their young daughters in marriage as a way to pay off debts. One Afghan mother explained that she felt forced to marry her 13-year-old daughter to a 30-year-old man so she could provide food for her remaining children.
