A pregnant 14-year-old was tortured and killed in Afghanistan in July by being burned alive by her in-laws as revenge for her father eloping with their niece

Following is a summary of this DailyMail article

A pregnant 14-year-old was tortured and set on fire by her in-laws because her father eloped with a woman from their family.   She died in a Kabul burn hospital the next week in July 2016.

The killing was an act of revenge after the man had run away with a young cousin of his daughter’s husband when the family agreed to sell her for more money.

The grieving father visited Afghanistan’s capitol in a quest for justice for the killing, rallying with members of his family and women’s rights activists, but he said he had little hope for justice.

Women’s rights activist Veeda Saghari explains that violence against women is ignored in Afghanistan: “.. violence against women such as acid throwing, beating, stoning, informal community tribunal verdicts, burning, forced divorces, forced marriages, forced pregnancies, and forced abortions have reached a peak.”
