Badghis Husband Kills 9-Year-Old Wife
Excerpt: A Badghis man allegedly beat and strangled his nine-year-old wife to death on Sunday night, provincial officials confirmed on Monday. The incident took place in Kadanak village of Qads district of the province due to “family issues,” a spokesman for the provincial governor Naqibullah Amini confirmed. He said the child "named Samia had been married to (the suspect) Sharafuddin for two years.” “The man fled the area after the incident,” Amini said. The girl’s father has meanwhile been arrested by police “for forcing his daughter to marry the man,” Amini added. Amini said the husband is about 35 years old and has another wife. He said the child had been given to Sharafuddin as "Bad" (as payment to settle a dispute).
