Yesterday, officials in Afghanistan reported, the girl named Sahar Gul (15) was found in the basement of her husband in Baghlan province, northeast of the country on Monday (26/12), after when her parents informed her daughter's disappearance to the police. According to local officials, Sahar Gul got married seven months ago in the province of Badakhshan, but later lived with her husband in Baghlan. During this time, her parents lost contact with his daughter.

Sahar Gul's case occurred after a woman named Gulnaz was pardoned and freed earlier this month.This woman has been jailed for two years to adultery with a married person, and must bear the sentence of 12 years in prison. Before that, she was jailed after telling police that his brother-in-law was an assault. Gulnaz then gave birth to a baby (the result of rape) in prison.
Last month, the United Nations said a bill important to protect women from violence in Afghanistan has been used to prosecute about 100 cases since it was issued two years ago.
