A bearded man who claims he's 55 years old arrives to collect a girl, Powwana, bought for 200,000 Afghanis (just over 2,000 USD). "This is your bride. Please take care of her," Powana's father urges; "Of course, I will take care of her," the man answers. Powana resists as he carries her away. The piece warns that "The fate of this small, helpless child has been sealed." It notes "Nine year old Litan and four year old Zeton for a thousand US dollars each." A journalist asks Zeton, "Do you know why they're selling you?" She replies, "Because we are a poor family and don't have any food to eat." In Gore province another family borrows from a 70 year old neighbor; now "he's demanding it back, but they have nothing to give except their 10 year old daughter, Magul." A father says, "My daughter doesn't want to go and is crying all the time. I am so ashamed." "Terrified, she threatens to take her life." "If they push me to marry the old man, I will kill myself. I don't want to leave my parents." Days later, the sale is finalized. "Another Afghan child sold into a life of misery."
