KABUL, Afghanistan (The Blaze/AP) — A 15-year-old Afghan girl severely tortured for months by her in-laws in an attempt to force her into prostitution will be sent to India for medical treatment, an Afghan official said Monday.

Sahar Gul’s mother-in-law and sister-in-law were arrested and her husband was being sought, said Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqi.

The case has shocked Afghanistan, though rights activists say serious abuses against women and girls in the country are common. President Hamid Karzai has said that whoever used violence against Gul will be punished.

According to officials in northeastern Baghlan province, the in-laws kept Gul in a basement for six months, ripped her fingernails out, tortured her with hot irons and broke her fingers. Police freed her last week.

The public health and women’s affairs ministers visited Gul, who is now in a Kabul hospital.

She was freed from a basement at her husband’s home last week after her uncle called the local police.

“It is a violent act that is unacceptable in the 21st century,” Sediqi told reporters. “We are thankful of Sahar Gul’s uncle.”

He added that “if the police had not arrived in time she may have died.”

He did not provide details on the treatment she would seek in India. But many Afghans with serious injuries or illnesses prefer to go to India or Pakistan for care because of poor medical services in Afghanistan.

Gul was married about seven months ago. Jawad Basharat, spokesman for the provincial police chief in Baghlan, said an arrest warrant had been issued for her husband, who is serving in the Afghan army.

“After police found out about the small girl Sahar Gul they took action and found her in the basement of the house in very bad condition,” Basharat said. “Her nails were pulled out, she has injuries in all parts of her body, there are signs of burning on her body, she was suffering from different kinds of injuries.”

He said that her mother-in-law and other members of the family were reportedly involved in what he described as “criminal activities,” which he said included selling alcohol and prostitution.

According to preliminary reports, Basharat said, “they tried to force her into prostitution and she did not agree. This was one of the reasons that they detained her in the basement for six months.”

Rahima Zarifi, the provincial director of women’s affairs in Baghlan, said a commission had been set up under Karzai’s orders to investigate the case.

“According to the neighbors in the area, Sahar Gul’s in-law’s were not good people. Besides selling alcohol, they were involved in prostitution and that is why they put pressure on Sahar Gul to join with them. She was not happy with it and that is why they put her in the basement, detained her for six months and tortured her,” Zarifi said. “They pulled out her nails. You can see the signs of torture and abuse all over her body, several types of torture and abuse. They even burned her with hot irons.”

Health Minister Suraya Dalil said that despite progress in women’s rights, work remained to be done.

“This is the very most extreme case that we have seen. That a child, that a girl child has been abused, has been physically abused, psychologically abused. It is an issue that shows that we are still need to work a lot with regard to education, with regard to awareness, with regard to social and economic development,” Dalil said.

Despite much progress since the fall of the Taliban 10 years ago, women’s rights in Afghanistan remain a problem area in a country with a strict patriarchal culture.

Under Taliban rule, girls’ schools were banned and women could only leave the house accompanied by a male family member.

A U.N. report issued in November found that a 2009 law meant to protect Afghan women from a host of abusive practices, including rape, forced marriage and the trading of women to settle disputes was being undermined by spotty enforcement.

The Law on the Elimination of Violence Against Women was passed in August 2009 and had raised hopes among women’s rights activists that Afghan women would get to fight back against abuses that had been ignored under Taliban rule. The law criminalized many abuses for the first time, including domestic violence, child marriage, driving a woman to resort to suicide and the selling and buying of women.

Yet the report found only a small percentage of reported crimes against women are pursued by the Afghan government.

Between March 2010 and March 2011, prosecutors opened 594 investigations involving crimes under the law. That’s only 26 percent of the 2,299 incidents registered by the Afghan human rights commission, the U.N. report said. Prosecutors filed indictments in only 155 cases, or 7 percent of the total number of crimes reported.

Sometimes victims were pressured to withdraw their complaints or to settle for mediation by traditional councils, the report said. Sometimes prosecutors didn’t proceed with mandatory investigations for violent acts like rape or prostitution. Other times, police simply ignored complaints, the report said.

If you aren‘t fighting for women’s (human) rights…don’t contact me. Everyone should press members of NOW and other groups on why they aren’t more active in these types of cases. They remain very quiet. They certainly have enough money collected to lobby (payoff) the UN.

    It’s heart-breaking. She should be in school learning math, science and grammar. But it shows you what can happen in a country where the “religion of peace” is also the law of the land.

      @rick
      The “religion of peace” has been interpreted by the will of men & twisted to suit them. But it is still their religion. I am happy that they want us to know them by their religion so we can see who they are.

    There must be a special place in Hell beirng prepared for these animals. There needs to be a trial at 8AM tommorrow, followed by sentencing at 9AM and then followed by torture. A death sentence is too good for them.

    This is awful. Sounds like a few stories I’ve seen reported here in the U.S. I really don’t think the family were true Muslims, as they were participating in alcohol sales and prostitution. Nor does it mention any reference to faith in the article. This sounds like a cultural problem to me. The fact that this girl withstood torture for not playing along tells me she is stronger than most of us would be.

    Hey, let’s spend another few trilliion dollars per year, and sacrifice a few thousand more young American soldiers, all to make the Middle East into something like Indiana !

    Or cordon the entire area off, and gas the hell out of them when they cause more trouble outside their own 7th-century borders. These savages need to be quarantined on a massive scale.

      We are protecting the $1 trillion plus rare earth minerals that were found after we bombed the hell out of those ugly mountains. Better we have it than China, they are used in manufacturing.

      When you hate because of your fundamental beliefs, you are a radical. From a radical’s fundamentalist perspective, reason looks treacherous because unlike fanaticism it is based in logic and reality.

      So you compare a family of islamists who are forcing the new young wife in their family to be a prostitute and torture her for months in that quest almost killing her. And to match that you show a story of a random killing by a schizofrenic acting alone and not claiming his god demands this behaviour.

      No comparison at all. You are completely wrong.

    Watch your comments on this story folks. I can absolutely guarantee you that you will be watched by the CIA or some other intelligence agency if you use strong anti-Muslim words.

    I hope she finds safety in India and stays there! A 15 yr old GIRL forced into a marriage at such an early age? Yup….this is what we want here in the U.S. isn’t it?
