A hungry Afghanistan man has sold his nine-year-old daughter to a very “old man” as child bride for food.

CNN reported heartbreaking footage of the nine-year-old Parwana Malik being sold as a child bride to an elderly.

The video showed the father pleading for the old man not to hurt her.

The family said they had no choice as Afghanistan plunges further into a humanitarian crisis according to the CNN.
