An Afghan
woman who was forced to marry her rapist and have his baby has revealed
how she gave up all of her hopes and dreams to 'buy' her daughter's
future.
Known
only by the name Gulnaz, the Kabul-based woman was only 16-years-old
when she fell pregnant with the child of her depraved attacker Asadullah
- who is also married to her cousin.
Even
though a rape led to her pregnancy, Gulnaz's brothers insisted she
would not be allowed to return to her 'shamed' family as she was
unmarried and a Kabul court sentenced her to two years in prison
for 'adultery by force', later increased to 12 years following an
appeal.
