Taliban take 7-year-old brides in Afghanistan  - 1

Parwana Malik sold into marriage shortly after US forces withdrew before three years since Afghanistan. She is nine years old and is no exception. The Voice of America, quoted by NOVA, tells about the lives of women and girls in the country.

Local media reports that little girls as young as 7 or 8 are being forced to marry the Taliban.

Parvana was photographed for the nonprofit organization Too Young to Wed, founded by Stephanie Sinclair. Officers managed to convince the girl's elderly husband to return her to her family. Sinclair recounts that Parvana dreams of one day becoming a teacher or a doctor. But, unfortunately, she lives in a society where her dream cannot come true.

During the commemoration of the anniversary of the death of the servicemen who died during the withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan, neither Joe Biden nor Kamala Harris commented on the fate of the girls who were victims of the extremist regime, according to VOA.

Donald Trump also focused on the deaths of 13 US service members.
