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.)
