Afghan woman jailed for being a rape victim offered release if she MARRIES her attacker

  • Gulnaz was convicted of adultery because she had sex outside of marriage by being raped
  • After falling pregnant by her attacker, she and the baby were jailed for 12 years
  • She has been given the choice to marry her rapist and be freed from jail
  • An Afghan woman raped by her cousin’s husband has revealed how she is faced with a horrific dilemma – marry him or spend the next 12 years in jail.

    Gulnaz was aged just 19 when she was convicted by a court of adultery, even though she tried to prevent the attack.

    Now she is in Kabul's Badam Bagh jail, serving out her sentence with her rapist’s child.
