A 17-year-old woman admitted at a local hospital in Faryab province may lose her both legs which are severely damaged due to terrible prolonged tortures by her husband and her father-in-law, doctors said.

Laal Bibi, a resident of the northern Faryab province, was admitted to a hospital on Wednesday. She said she had been tortured by the hot skewer, boiling water, and other means for the last six months.

My husband and father-in-law bet me, punched me, and kicked me regularly. Worst of all, they hit me with a skewer, and pulled out my nails in the past couple of weeks,” said Laal Bibi.

I was completely unaware of the situation until they showed me my daughter, who had internal bleeding, and had gone through worst possible physical and psychological conditions,” said Fateh Khan, father of the victim.

Maryam, the mother of the victim, said, “she was not to blame, they hit her every day, and we took her to the hospital to save her life.”

Doctors said the victim is likely to get both her legs severed through a surgical operation after enduring months of beatings at the hands of her in-laws.

According to Maria Noori, chief of women’s decorticate in Faryab province, Laal Bibi’s veins have been severely damaged due to physical injuries and bruises on her body.

“We have arrested her father-in-law, but could not arrest her husband because the area was under the control of the Taliban.” Abdul Karim Yorash, the spokesman of Faryab police, said.

The Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission’s (AIHRC) described the event as “shocking and horrifying by all means.”

According to the data provided by the AIHRC, the acts of violence against women’s rate have been increased by eight percent (8%) this year with 762 cases registered at AIHRC in the first 7 months of the solar year 1998.
