According to reports from local sources, the governor of Dolatabad, Faryab, is trying to marry a 13-year-old Turkmen girl.
Sources say that this young girl has a fiancee, but Saifullah, the Taliban’s governor in Daulat Abad, is trying to cancel her engagement and force the girl to marry his brother-in-law.
According to local sources, the Taliban governor’s brother-in-law went to the young girl’s house in Topkhaneh Qala village last night with a number of his armed men and threatened her parents to get their daughter married to him.
Since the Taliban came to power, the amount of violence, abuse, and forced marriages has increased.
