Child bride

[serai]

Get out your Kleenex, 'cause you are gonna cry.

Gulsoma is an 12-year-old Afghani child bride. Married off at 4 (no, that's not a typo), her story is, as you can imagine, heartrending. But the bad stuff may have ended for her now, as you will see. You can read about her at the following link. (If you're of a delicate sensibility, you might want to skim over the middle part of the article.)

Oh my. As I read this I just kept thinking of my son, and imagining such things happening to him at such a young age. It gives you a different perspective on your problems, doesn't it, and shows you that things could always be much, much worse. Thanks for sharing this.

You're welcome!

It is beyond me how any human can commit such atrocities. If there truly were justice in the world, those are the people who would be thrown against a wall and stoned to death, not innocent women. Bastards like this do not deserve to take another breath.
