A 15-year-old Afghan girl has been hospitalized after enduring daily beatings and torture at the hands of her husband and her inlaws. The torture is said to have gone on for months before the girl’s family became involved and called police.

The girl was forced into marriage at 14 to a man twice her age. Police are still investigating why the girl suffered the abuse but it is believed her husband and mother-in-law wanted her to go into prostitution to help support the family. When she refused, the girl was locked in the basement and beaten. Her mother-in-law pulled out her hair and nails while the husband beat her.

The girl is now recovering in a local hospital.
