Young Pakistani girls traded as settlement in tribal feud

This is the part of the world where we've taken our hubris out for exercise.

"It began with an errant dog. It's culminated with the forced betrothal of 15 little girls, some of them as young as three, as compensation in a case of tribal feuding in a remote part of Pakistan."

Yes, yes, I know it's not Afghanistan.

Afghanistan's worse.
