Child marriage in Afghanistan has spread more severely under the Taliban’s ban on female education and employment

A 45-year-old groom allegedly married a six-year-old girl in Afghanistan in a wedding that left even the Taliban “horrified”.

The man, who is already said to have two wives, reportedly paid money in exchange for taking the girl as a bride in a sick case.

The child’s father and the groom were later arrested, but neither of them has been charged.

While the shocking case has sparked outrage, it is understood that the marriage still lasts.

The Taliban, who are known for their brutal laws against women, reportedly opposed the marriage and asked to groom to wait until the bride turned nine.
