Afghan child bride had escaped torturers but was sent back.
A 15-year-old Afghan girl who was nearly tortured to death by her
husband and his family attempted to escape her attackers more than four
months ago but was sent back home by local authorities, it has emerged.
Sahar
Gul, a child-bride married off to a soldier called Gulam Sakhi who then
tried to force her into prostitution, is being treated for horrific
injuries in a hospital in Kabul after she was rescued last week.
During
her ordeal several of her fingernails were ripped out with pliers and
one of her ears was badly burned by an iron. Her husband is now on the
run, and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law have been arrested.
