    Holy shit...I don't know what I would do in that situation...poll the family and weigh the pros and cons of a murder suicide pact maybe.  There's no way it would be worth it long term..that $2200 is gonna run out and you will be back where you started only this time without your daughter....
    he said when that runs out he'll have to sell his 2 year old. 
    that is pathetic..I know its a horrible situation but in that case it seems like death would be better
    I have to agree.  I would rather us all die.  Death has to be better than knowing everyday your child is being abused based on your decision.

    death, as in, murdering your own child?
    and the whole family rather than face that miserable existence.  
    I can't believe what I'm reading. 
    The other alternative is sell all your children and continue having more children to sell to people you don’t know that may abuse them or sell them to isis or the taliban…no thanks

    a) don't have more kids
    b) starve yourself or sell yourself (or your wife sells herself) so the kids don't get harmed
    c) don't murder your own kids

    Child marriage in Afghanistan



    It’s common and appears only girls are sold off and the man makes the decision.

    This is about money.  Men in that part of the world view woman as chattel, not people.

    feed my family my ass…just excuses from people who refuse to change.



    Give Peas A Chance…
