a new life for an abused girl

Such a sad story and unfortunately there's too many instances of so-called marriage-slavery and it's horrible. The girl is probably going to have to go through extensive therapy for many years, I mean this happened when she was twelve years old! Then the pain of rejection from her family on top of it all. Really, it's not the families ultimately at fault, it's what their theocratic society expects the families should react. I don't know, more has to be done to rescue these girls, and I hope and pray Amnesty International would step in big time in the near future, as this stuff is happening more and more. Pretty sad, honour killings happen even here in Canada, too :-(

Thanks God that she was saved. At least she has escaped from them without getting killed !. I don't know how those people think. We should learn how to respect both the dignity of a child and the dignity of a woman. Because once one of these two is misstreated, it is like if we are looking to ruin this humain's life and, so, to destroy a whole generation that will follow him. We must do something towards these behaviors, because none of them is humain!

These people are disgusting pigs. What would Muhammad say about this?

CaptAlbertWhisker ..this is such a sad story and one we forget is representative of cruelty all over the world..when will mankind ever learn...

Yes there are people in the world who still do these unspeakable acts and believe they are "right" by their country. They are just so uncaring and should become a woman in their own country in their next life in order to experience what they do to the females in their countries, it makes me sick that females are treated so badly in parts of our world. I'm happy she was saved and will be getting some help as far as how her nose is, and such. I like happy endings and wish the best for this woman, she will make a great police woman. God bless her. She deserves more than she ever got in her childhood.

Hats off to American soldiers. This is wonderful and most prize-able job they did. This is her second life. We with her happy life here.

Wow, thats terrible to hear. I am sad when I hear of these types of things happening. She has had a really tough go of her life so far. That is the main reason that I dont really agree with arranged marriages. It seems like a legalized way of slavery. People need to have a choice as to who they want to marry. And no one has any business forcing a young girl at the age of 12 to get married no matter what. They are not ready at that age. In the US they are allowed to be kids, go to school and grow up. And then enjoy the love of another person. Here that man would be arrested for statitory rape. I am happy to know that now she has a good change and chance at a better life. She will still have trouble going through the emotional trama of her start to life. But I hope the very best for that young lady.

This kind of stuff happens all the time I'm sure, all over the world and the women or men who are the victim aren't saved. I'm glad this girl was, and I am sure she's very appreciative to the American soldiers who saved her life, and just in the knick of time.

hi, It is really good to know that she is saved. God came to rescue her in the form of American soldiers. I prey God, let her be stable and be recovered from surgery soon and let live her own life, like a common man at US.
