HERAT, Afghanistan: Afghan police have arrested four people who allegedly tried to force a woman into prostitution in western Afghanistan and beheaded her when she refused, officials said Wednesday.

Mah Gul, 20, was beheaded after her mother-in-law attempted to make her sleep with a man in her house in Herat province last week, provincial police chief Abdul Ghafar Sayedzada told AFP.

"We have arrested her mother-in-law, father-in-law, her husband and the man who killed her," he said.

Gul was married to her husband four months ago and her mother-in-law had tried to force her into prostitution several times in the past, Sayedzada said.

The suspect, Najibullah, was paraded by police at a press conference where he said the mother-in-law lured him into killing Gul by telling him that she was a prostitute.

"It was around 2:00 am when Gul's husband left for his bakery. I came down and with the help of her mother-in-law killed her with a knife," he said.

The murder comes against a backdrop of a world outcry over the shooting by Taliban Islamists of a 14-year-old Pakistani girl, Malala Yousafzai, who had become a voice against the suppression of women's rights.

While Yousafzai's case has made world headlines, people using social media in Afghanistan have made the point that oppression and violence against women are commonplace in Afghanistan.

Abdul Qader Rahimi, the regional director of the government-backed human rights commission in western Afghanistan, said violence against women had dramatically increased in the region recently.

"There is no doubt violence against women has increased. So far this year we have registered 100 cases of violence against women in the western region," he said, adding that many cases go unreported.

"But at least in Gul's case, we are glad the murderer has been arrested and brought to justice," he said.

Last year, in a case that made international headlines, police rescued a teenage girl, Sahar Gul, who was beaten and locked up in a toilet for five months after she defied her in-laws who tried to force her into prostitution.

Till the day Islam will have respect for women and not regard them as second class citizens,then I will start respecting the religion.

Inlaws forcing girls into prostitution!
I think it is rampant in afghanistan going by this report.
And to think they have extremists killing people all over on high moral ground.

And where are those that claim Nigeria is not blessed. I mean those looking for any slight opportunity to say damaging things about Nigeria. I have a one way ticket for you to either Afganistan or Pakistan. Choose now?

berem: Till the day Islam will have respect for women and not regard them as second class citizens,then I will start respecting the religion.

So even women don't respect women's rights. Smh!

berem: Till the day Islam will have respect for women and not regard them as second class citizens,then I will start respecting the religion.

very gullible you! Read and re-read the article. Where in it does it say Islam/Muslims? Now let me open your eye to how you are being manipulated. Prostitution is not allowed in Islam. Forced prostitution is frowned against even more. But I suspect that once you saw 'Afghan girl' and the word 'beheaded', you assumed Islam. And the writer knows that his target are people like you, so in a mid paragraph, he brings in the Taliban and uses the word 'Islamic Taliban'. You have been well and trully wrapped up by the writer.
Now un-wrap yourself, reread the article and make a better judgement of it.

Wonders will never end sha

Afghanistan is a Muslim country as you claim. That's why the perpetrators were arrested. Oya think deeper. Islam does not support this, and these guys can expect death sentence or something similar. Islam should be praised here for protecting the girl's right even in death.

There‘s no need bringing religion into this. People perpetrate evil irrespective of their religion. I guess this planet is now worse than it used to be or may be the world is coming to an end!

So when kidnappers took over Abia state (a predominantly christian state) about 2 years ago we should have blamed christinaity

I don't think the planet is worse than it used to be....The planet has always been this way, its just that we all now have easy access to so much information, so we hear about these things more often now......WE ARE IN THE INFORMATION AGE, AND WE ARE ALL GOING TO FIND OUT MORE AND MORE JUST HOW EVIL MAN CAN BE........

He that liveth and killeth by the sword/knife will definately die by the sword/knife...These guys shuld learn to treat women with respect...
