The Plight of Afghani Women is still awful!
Advertisements [?]
We had a huge article in the kansas City Paper this morning about one girl who was sold in marriage when she was 9. Her husband was 48. She was chained up as a slave except when she was free to do housework. She was beaten and raped and sodomized.

According to her husband women just don't think like men. They have short memories. Some clerics tell men to beat their wives at least once a week.

It is impossible for me to even have any idea what that little girl went through.
