HORROR STORY OF 4 YEAR OLD

                             MUSLIM CHILD BRIDE

I don’t know what will I write but will definitely try to stay sane and give you almost a graphic detail of the barbaric tortures meted on her so that you can actually feel and visualize what this poor baby had to go through.

Gulsoma (Kandahar Afghanistan) was just 4 years old when she got married. And after that each day of her life has been pure hell.

Gulsoma’s father died when she was just 3 years old. Her mother’s second husband couldn’t stand her so she was given away to a man aged 30, who was old enough to be her father. Being just a child didn’t spare her from the sexual hunger of the man.

She was barely 5 when she knew that she has to take care of not only her husband but also all the other 12 children’s. It was Gulsoma alone on one side and the entire family participated actively in abusing and torturing her day in and day out.

In the words of Gulsoma: “My father-in-law asked me to do everything - laundry, the household chores - and the only time I was able to sleep in the house was when they had guests over.’ “Other than that I would have to sleep outside on a piece of carpet without even any blankets. In the summer it was okay. But in the winter a neighbor would come over and give me a blanket, and sometimes some food.”
      
And the poor girl was beaten up inhumanly when she failed to get her job done. God send those all to hell, man she was beaten with electric wires and her father-in-law asked all the other children’s to break her bones.

Such was the extent of the torture that her body was used as a surface to cut vegetables and that too all nude. She was even beaten up brutally by her father-in-law when one day he saw a neighbor giving her blanket and food and was locked for two months.

During her captivity in the shed her father-in-law contemplated for her not being dead and finally when she was freed from the shed her hands were tied and she was mercilessly beaten till she became unconscious. Not satisfied with that her father-in-law in order to get her back to senses poured boiling water on her head and back.

Finally one day she was accused of stealing the wrist watch of his daughters and again beaten up badly and even threatened to kill her if the watch is not found.

She then decided to flee from that hell. She was discovered by a rickshaw puller who took her to the police station.
