Six-Year-Old Girl Sold as Child Bride in Exchange for Goat

The unfortunate Afagani child, Gharibgol, was sold as a child bride for a goat, rice, tea, oil and sugar, to a 55-year-old man, Seyed Abdolkarim.  The six-year-old’s father said that their family was desperate for food, so getting rid of one more mouth to feed was justified.
