American photographer Stephanie Sinclair is the winner of the international photo competition “UNICEF Photo of the Year”. Her photo shows a wedding couple in Afghanistan who could not be more opposite. The groom, Mohammed, looks much older than his 40 years. The bride, Ghulam, is still a child; she just turned 11.
goddamn disgusting but definitely not the first time i heard of something like this...fuck 11 year old bride freaking wrong...
The worst thing in the world is to be trapped in a hopeless situation,,,, damn that situation looks hopeless for the girl lol..
although this is completely wrong to us, cant just say stuff when we dont actually know how their culture works...
And culture is used to justify human sacrifice and human mutilation against their will. Just because a culture say it needs to be done doesn't mean its right.
^ tru what zero said. But dim8sum also has a point, how can we as outsiders judge whether their actions are right or wrong? who decides that what we do now is the correct "universal" law...
well i think you can also compare it with eating dog meat like chinese like to eat dogs cats and other things which really disgust the western world but still .... think about it does a 11 yr old girl really wants to marry an old man come on the world is evolving every seconds we learn from our past to be better dont we
Yeah, I don't think it can be intrinsically wrong (though it seems that way). We're just being a bit ethnocentric here. Either way, it's still sick LOL
