Afghan sold 9-year-old daughter to a relative and justified himself with the high amount of the transaction

An Afghan sold his 9-year-old daughter to her 55-year-old uncle for $ 4,000, justifying his need

Parvan's daughter to a relative – a 55-year-old man named Kurban – for several thousand dollars, justified by need. According to the Afghan, he has no money to feed his family. For the first time, CNN reporters learned about the deal on November 2, but the Afghan edition of Aamaj News told about the continuation of the story.

According to CNN, the girl was sold for 1.6 thousand dollars (150 thousand Afghans), but the man denied this information and stated that he received almost four thousand dollars (350 thousand afghanis) as a result of the transaction. In addition, initially CNN did not report who the buyer was, but the TV channel knew that he would marry Parvana.

The 9-year-old's father accused CNN journalists of lying and wanting to turn his story into a drama. In fact, the buyer, Kurban, is the girl's uncle, and he is not going to marry her. However, according to Aamaj News, a 55-year-old man could buy Parwana as a wife for his 20-year-old son. This information was not commented on.

Finally, the Afghan said that he would buy his daughter back as soon as possible. At the same time, in an interview with CNN, the man insisted: he does not have a penny.
