Sitting next to the man who raped and made her pregnant, Afghan victim - who was forced to MARRY attacker to avoid prison - says she gave up all her 'wishes in life to buy my daughter's future' An Afghan woman who was forced to marry her rapist and have his baby has revealed how she gave up all of her hopes and dreams to 'buy' her daughter's future.
Known only by the name Gulnaz, the Kabul-based woman was only 16-years-old when she fell pregnant with the child of her depraved attacker Asadullah - who is also married to her cousin.
Even though a rape led to her pregnancy, Gulnaz's brothers insisted she would not be allowed to return to her 'shamed' family as she was unmarried and a Kabul court sentenced her to two years in prison for 'adultery by force', later increased to 12 years following an appeal.
The only hope of a reduced sentence was to marry Asadullah, which she did in early 2013. Now she is pregnant with his third child but insists she only agreed to marry her rapist so that her first daughter - named Smile - could live a shame-free life in the Afghan capital's 'traditional' society.
Just over two years after Gulnaz married Asadullah, the couple agreed to a joint interview with CNN.
Gulnaz said that her decision to marry the rapist was purely based on the fact her daughter, Smile, would have been unable to live a normal life in the Afghan capital without a father.
