HEARTBREAKING: Taliban Savages Are Kidnapping Little Girls And Forcing Them To Marry Fighters In Afghanistan

The Taliban is kidnapping and forcibly marrying off teenage girls and young women to its fighters as it recaptures huge areas of Afghanistan. The Mail newspaper on Sunday reported that whenever the extremists capture a new town or district, they issue orders through the speakers of local mosques for the names of wives and widows of all local government and police personnel to be handed over. The group has rounded up hundreds of young women to be married off to their militants as a "war booty", local residents and officials told the newspaper.

Families fearing the Taliban's advance have been sending women and girls to safer areas, including the Afghan capital Kabul, to prevent them from being taken away. There have been local reports of women being forcibly married off in at least two northern Afghan regions called Takhar and Badakhshan, while a similar attempt was made in the province of Bamyan, where the insurgent group was driven out by Afghan security forces after four days of fierce fighting.

The fundamentalist organization has been closing down girls' schools in towns it takes over. Women are ordered that they can only leave their homes if they wear a burqa, and are chaperoned by a male adult, the report said. Witnesses told of the group's sexual slavery after it took control of the remote district of Saighan, in the central highlands of Bamyan province. According to local residents, Taliban fighters demanded to know the names and ages of girls and women they said would be rounded up to be married to their militants.
