<description><![CDATA[RAWANews: RAWANews: Local sources in Helmand say that a 45-year-old man, who already has two other wives, has married a 6-year-old girl. According to the sources, the girl&#8217;s father gave her in marriage to this older man &#8220;in exchange for money.&#8221; Child marriage, particularly the marriage of young girls to elderly or middle-aged men, is considered one of the widespread cultural forms of violence across Afghanistan, which has significantly increased since the Taliban&#8217;s return to power.]]></description>
