In a practice known as baad, Bibi Aisha's father promised her to a Taliban fighter when she was 6 years old as compensation for a killing that a member of her family had committed. She was
married at 16 and subjected to constant abuse. At 18, Bibi Aisha fled the abuse but was caught
by police, jailed and then returned to her family. Her father-in- law, husband and three other family members took her into the mountains, cut off her nose and her ears, and left her to die.
