VALUE OF FEMALES

THE HIGH IMPORTANCE OF FEMALES>.......


Aren't females, little girls or even grown women of any age worth a lot?

This does seem so in today's society as girls of minor age are even being traded for mere cattle.

IN many southern countries our future engineering, school tutoring life sustaining girls are not worth more than day to day necessities like food, clothing and even cattle such as cows and goats or sheeps.




A 6-Year-Old Girl Was Traded

to a 55-Year-Old Man for a Goat

Faced with a starving family, her father gave away his 6-year-old daughter in exchange for food.

A man sold his 6-year-old daughter into a child marriage in exchange for a goat, rice, tea, sugar and cooking oil in Afghanistan, according to a disturbing report.

This is another tragic and shocking story after Said Mohammed Karim, 60, was arrested earlier this month for marrying an allegedly kidnapped girl, also 6 years old


 The man who married the girl, named Gharibdol, was also a religious figure in her village. Seyed Abdolkarim — a 55-year-old mullah in the Afghan community in Obeh —  essentially bought the girl after her father was struggling to feed his family

The father said he could not afford another mouth to feed, and the marriage would help provide more food for his family. His female relatives did not agree.
Thanks to the outspoken women in the family who did not stand for such a heinous act of child abuse, the two men who brokered the deal were arrested. Gharibdol is currently living in a safe house with her mother. She was tested at a hospital in Ghor and doctors found no evidence of sexual intercourse.
Making the situation more frustrating is that there is plenty of food on the planet to feed everyone. If food is redistributed more efficiently, and solutions to ending hunger involve grassroots efforts such as investing in smallholder farms and empowering female-owned businesses child marriages between a girl and man nearly 50 years older would not happen.
There are many steps to make the world a better place. Closing loopholes in the law is a major step in ending child marriage, addressing the deeper causes of poverty is just as important. Together these accomplishments can change the fate of girls like Gharibdol.
