Murder of a Young Girl by Her Father and Brother

Local sources in Badghis province have reported the murder of a teenage girl by her father and brother.

On Tuesday, September 10, sources confirmed to the Afghan Women’s News Agency that the incident occurred in the Qadis district of Badghis province. The girl aged 17, was suffocated after having been tortured by her father and brother for refusing an arranged marriage.

Local Taliban officials in Badghis have not commented on this issue.

This occurs in the wake of a previous incident in Badghis, where a girl set herself on fire due to an arranged marriage.

Following the Taliban’s resurgence in the country, statistics regarding suicides, forced marriages, and the murders of women and girls have markedly increased. The absence of women’s rights organizations has resulted in a lack of investigation into such cases.
