Alberta soldier speaks Pukhto

[شمله ور خراساني]

i strongly doubt the giving away in marriage of pashtun women to foreign men is a common practice there. rather, it is very frowned upon. especially to those nasty-looking whites. pakhtuns there are very prejudiced by nature of whites and ethnic slurs for them are very common even amongst the very religious.

as for arabs, the temporary marriages were with tajik women living in regions that fell under their control after fighting. most likely, it was not very common due to the limited amount of arabs to begin with. in more genuine marriages to them however, i dont see an issue.

and i havn't heard of marriage to punjabis, maybe someone could shed some light by providing evidence.

There are Qandaharis here in Holland who's daughter was given as a present to Russians durign the Russian occupation of Afghanistan.

And please do not philosophize.

Many Pashtuns gave their daughters to Chechens, Arabs, Somalis, Sudanis even German Mujahideen.

There is nothing in Islam that says that as a Pashtun you are not suppose to allow your daughter to marry a mujahid from another ethnicity or race.

In tribal area and many parts of Afghanistan there are widows of the mujahedeen with children. Some of those widows were killed by the current government soldiers.
