《沙漠之花》电影曾风靡全球，电影中讲述了华莉丝从索马里沙漠中走出到成为世界顶级名模的经历。她曾十二岁时为了五头骆驼被父亲嫁给六十岁的老叟，后逃离了沙漠来到伦敦成为一代名模。而现实中，一阿富汗父亲为了一只羊将6岁女儿卖给一老头为妻，不禁为这个小女孩的命运捏一把汗。

　　A video shows a six-year-old Afghan girl in tears, after her father allegedly sold her to a 55-year-old man for marriage, in exchange for a goat and food.

　　一段视频显示，一名6岁的阿富汗女孩在流着泪，据悉，他狠心的父亲为了一只羊和稻米，竟把她卖给了一个55岁的老头做新娘。

　　It is believed girls as young as 16 are commonly sold to men for marriage in line with Afghan law, but underage pairings are not uncommon. However such a large age gap like this one is rare, according to The Observers.

　　在阿富汗，女孩在16岁时就卖给别人做新娘是法律允许的，不过，未成年婚姻也并不少见。不过，据《观察家》表示，像这样如此大的年龄差距还是罕见的。

　　According to the website, the girl's father sold her for a goat, a bag of rice, tea, sugar, and a few litres of cooking oil.

　　据该网站报道，该女孩儿的父亲用6岁的女儿换回来了一只羊、一袋米，茶叶，白糖和几升食用油。

　　The man, reportedly Seyed Abdolkarim, took his bride to Firozkoh, in Ghor province, to stay at a relative's house. Alarm bells were raised when the host alleged he was undressing the girl at night.

　　报道称，这名55岁的老头名叫赛义德·阿卜杜尔卡里姆，他把6岁的新娘带到了古尔省的Firozkoh，住在一个亲戚的家里。夜里，主人发现阿卜杜尔卡里姆脱掉了小女孩的衣服，所以报了警。

　　Abdolkarim was asked if the young girl was his daughter and he replied: "No, she's my wife. Her father gave her to me". The host told a friend, who then alerted a local women's rights bureau, which lead to Abdolkarim's arrest.

　　当被问起小姑娘是否是他的女儿时，阿卜杜尔卡里姆回答说，“不是，她是我的妻子。她的父亲把她卖给我了。” 随即主人将此事告知了一名朋友，这名朋友随后通知了当地的妇女权益组织，所以阿卜杜尔卡里姆才被抓捕。

　　Tests later carried out reportedly revealed there was no sexual intercourse.

　　经过检查，医生表示该女孩儿没有受伤的迹象。

　　Herat journalist Fawad Ahmady recorded the clip on July 31 and posted it on Facebook where it has been widely shared across Afghanistan social media.

　　赫拉特记者法瓦德·阿赫马迪在7月31日报道了这则新闻，并把它发布上脸书上，随后被阿富汗的社交媒体大量转发。

　　"The girl is now living with her mother in a safe house in Firozkoh," Mr Ahmady told The Observers. "Khalili, the head of the women's rights bureau for Ghor province, told me she will do her best to make sure that her father loses his parental rights and that she is granted a divorce."

　　阿赫马迪告诉《观察家》称：“这名女童现在和她的妈妈住在Firozkoh一个安全的地方。古尔省女权组织负责人卡利里告诉我，她会尽一切努力剥夺这名父亲的监护权，同时帮助这名女童解除与阿卜杜尔卡里姆的婚姻关系。”

　　The girls' father reportedly admitted he was having trouble making ends meet and selling his daughter would provide a goat and two months' worth of food, as well as one less mouth to feed.

　　据报道，这名女孩的父亲承认自己入不敷出，将女儿卖掉能换来一只羊和两个月的口粮，同时还能少一张嘴吃饭。
