A 15-year-old Afghan child bride has spoken of her torture at the hands of her husband's family. Sahar Gul, an orphan, was sold into marriage by her brother for $5,000. Sahar says she was locked up and brutally beaten. She's now recovering in hospital. Caroline Wyatt reports from Kabul.
阿富汗一名15岁的童养媳称受到丈夫家人的毒打,孤儿Sahar Gul被哥哥以5000美元的价格嫁给夫家。Sahar说自己被锁起来毒打,她现在在医院康复了。Caroline Wyatt在喀布尔报道。
Lying in her hospital bed, Sahar's young face still bears the evidence of her six-month ordeal: one eye half shut and swollen, her skin a spider's web of scars. She's only 15, but she was married off at 14 to a man twice her age. He and his family locked her in a basement and starved and tortured her. The police rescued Sahar after her family raised the alarm. She told them that it was her mother-in-law who'd pulled out her hair and her nails. The police say she was also burnt with cigarettes. No one is sure why the abuse was so violent although some believe that Sahar's in-laws were trying to force her into prostitution.
Sahar躺在医院病床上,她年轻的面孔上,还有6个月磨难的印记:一只眼睛肿了半睁着,皮肤上密密麻麻的都是伤疤。她只有15岁,但14岁时,她就被哥哥嫁给年龄是自己两倍的男子。他和家人把她锁在地下室,不给她吃饭,还毒打她。她的家人报警后,警察救出了Sahar。她告诉警察,她的婆婆揪自己的头发和指甲。警察说,她还被用烟头烧伤。没人知道为何她会受这么残忍的虐待,尽管有人说,Sahar的夫家试图迫使她卖淫。
