A local source in this province told Radio Killid that this girl was about 17 years old and her family planned to marry her without her consent.
The authorities of Nimroz Province have confirmed this event, but have not provided more details.
This is despite the fact that not long ago, a young girl committed suicide in the city of Firouzkoh, the capital of Ghor province.
