Blood seeped from the fissures in her parched skin, and her eyes, like two deep hollows, had sunken into her thin, worn face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twenty-five-year-old Ayesha* said in a trembling voice,<br>\u201cIf it weren&#8217;t for my children, I would have ended this life long ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She lives in the Ettefaq township of west Kabul, where most residents struggle with extreme poverty, and life has been reduced to a daily battle for survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ayesha, who was sold as a child and married off at the age of 12 to an addicted man, now stands at the edge of a heart-wrenching decision: to sell her child to escape starvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A child sold<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ayesha\u2019s story is a bitter tale. She says that in the year 2001, when she was just one year old, she lost her mother to illness. Her father, a farmer in the Waras district of Bamyan, was unable to care for her and her older brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A relative of Ayesha, speaking to Rukhshana Media on condition of anonymity, said her father sold her to a landowner in exchange for a few seers of wheat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to her relative, Ayesha\u2019s father justified his decision by saying, \u201cShe has no mother; I can\u2019t manage two small children.\u201d He took his son with him and handed Ayesha over to his employer in exchange for 50 KGs of wheat. He later moved to Kabul, remarried, and from that day on, never looked back or asked about Ayesha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Life in her new family brought Ayesha nothing but suffering. Holding back tears, she recalls,<br>\u201cThe best clothes were for my stepsisters. They went to school, but I was just the house servant. If I made a mistake, my stepmother would beat me and say, \u2018We bought you to work\u2014you have to earn your keep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Forced marriage and the cycle of violence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the autumn of 2012, when Ayesha was only 12 years old, her stepfather made yet another decision for her. He sold her for 100,000 Afghanis ($1500) to a 28-year-old man addicted to drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was just a child; I didn\u2019t understand anything about life. I didn\u2019t even know what it meant to be an addict,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe neighbors would say, \u2018You\u2019ve become the wife of a drug addict,\u2019 but I didn\u2019t understand what that meant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her husband\u2019s family, fully aware of his addiction, had hoped that marriage would cure him, but that hope never came true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only did Ayesha\u2019s husband fail to quit drugs, but his behavior grew increasingly violent. By the third year of their marriage, he would often not come home at night, and he began pressuring Ayesha to provide money for his drugs.<br>\u201cHe didn\u2019t work. I had to find a way to feed myself and my one-year-old daughter. I worked in restaurants, washed clothes, looked after other people\u2019s children. But my husband tortured me. He would press hot metal rods against my feet, shove sticks under my fingernails, and scream, \u2018Confess! You\u2019re seeing other men!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ayesha thought about escaping many times, but with a small child, she had nowhere to go.<br>\u201cWhere could I go? Who would take me in? I had no choice but to endure,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Escape to Kabul and the shadow of an addicted husband<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the summer of 2021, following the collapse of Afghanistan\u2019s previous government, Ayesha lost her job at a restaurant in Bamyan. With her two daughters, she fled to Kabul, hoping to escape her addicted husband and find a better life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By day, Ayesha worked in the fields; by night, she did beadwork. With her meager income, she had managed to build a relatively peaceful life for herself and her children. But this peace was short-lived. A year later, her husband found her, and the cycle of violence began again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe beat me so badly that there wasn\u2019t a part of my body left unbruised. He didn\u2019t have money for drugs, so he took it from me by force and threats,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe said, \u2018If you don\u2019t give me money, I\u2019ll go to the authorities and tell them you ran away from home.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her husband turned to stealing from their home, selling Ayesha\u2019s belongings, including her mobile phone and sewing machine, which was her only source of income. Two months ago, he came home for the last time, took the remaining items, and disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On the brink of a terrifying decision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, Ayesha lives with her four children, aged nine, six, and one-year-old twins, in a damp, dark house in the Ettefaq township of western Kabul. The wooden ceiling is covered in cobwebs, and the worn carpet on the floor smells musty from excessive moisture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Her cracked lips seemed to scream the wounds of her life.
