Horrific Torture of 14 Year Old Bride Because She Won't be a Prostitute

An article today on BBC News revealed that Sahar actually managed to escape from the cellar where her new family tortured her. However, she was returned to her family by neighbours.

Afghan girl tortured by her in-laws for refusing to become a prostitute.

Sahar Gul was married off to a 30-year-old man around seven months ago, when she was just 14 years old. In the video, as Sahar is taken to hospital in a wheelchair, she is asked who beat her. She names her father-in-law, her husband, her sister-in-law, her brother-in-law and her mother-in-law. The 15-year-old says her hair and her nails were pulled out by her mother-in-law.
Police say that she had had her nails and clumps of hair pulled out. In addition they say she had chunks of flesh cut out with pliers.

Under Afghan law, the earliest age for marriage for girls is 16. However, almost half of Afghan women are married when they are younger.

How long, Oh Lord, how long? What an incredible girl to refuse to prostitute herself after absolutely inhumane torture. Such integrity belongs to heroes. May God help her heal.

I knew it from the beginning, just a bunch of rich, bored elite who want to stir up baloney.

Northwood's Proverbs

The Secret to Happiness is the Joy of the Lord;

and the joy of the Lord is His manifest presence in your life.

It is our Privilege and Responsibility to Glorify God;

and we glorify God by manifesting His character every moment and in every situation.

Humility and Pride

You can tell a humble man that he has a problem with pride and he will agree with you;

but if you tell a proud man that he has a problem with pride, he becomes your enemy.

This one thing I know for sure, that whenever there is a problem with my relationship with the Lord, it is not His fault.

Some people are just plain lazy;

some people are just overly sensitive to gravity;

others are simply economical with their energy.

It's not enough to preach the Gospel; you must be the Gospel.

If you can describe your life in a nutshell, there's a good probability that you're a nut.

As a good Canadian, I'd like to apologize in advance for anything I might say that offends you; sometimes my mouth hits high gear while my brain is still in low.

Never allow the thought, "I am of no use where I am"; because you certainly can be of no use where you are not. Oswald Chambers

We cannot even begin to approach the Truth until we are willing to go wherever the Truth leads us.

The newest object of idol worship is 'my opinion'!

Suffering is the only experience we have in common with every other human who ever lived.

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

-Blaise Pascal
