Sahar Gul (born 17 June 1998) is an Afghan former teenager who was subjected to torture and abuse by her husband's family in the town of Puli Khumri when she was illegally married as a child bride. Her case became notable in Afghanistan and internationally when she was rescued in late 2011.[1]The Guardian said that the case of Gul "horrified Afghanistan and prompted a bout of national soul-searching".[2] Three of her in-laws were found guilty of attempted murder and sentenced to 10 years in prison, but later freed after an appeals court voided their convictions.[3] American Attorney Kimberley Motley represented Gul in Supreme Court upon hearing of the in-laws release.[4] Gul became the first victim of a crime that was represented by an Attorney for a criminal proceeding. In a landmark decision the Supreme Court, and after the case was decided twice by the Appellate Court, Gul's in-laws, brother and husband who were never originally tried were convicted and sentenced to five years in prison.[5] The court also agreed that Gul could sue all parties for civil compensation. Gul is recovering in a women's shelter and says that she has ambitions to become a politician and stop other women suffering as she did.[6]
