A 20 year old woman has died after setting herself on fire to escape a forced marriage. A Taliban member pressured a young woman’s family to marry her to his brother. When they refused, he detained her father and brothers, and his brother attempted to take her by force. The incident underscores the growing rate of suicides among women and girls in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, frequently connected to forced marriages. Human rights organizations report that Taliban members are often behind this coercion.
