Literally half the country is a product of inbreeding. Kabul has the lowest rate of inbreeding, at just under 40%. It shouldn't surprise you that this isn't the type of information that is casually volunteered. Go ask someone from a back woods holler in Appalachia if they're inbred. Or I can save you the effort and just use my psychic powers to tell you what their answer would be... 80% of their "marriages" are forced and the child has no choice. It's also illegal for her to testify about being sold or traded to a pedophile (married), not that it matters because the girl is legal property of her father and he is the one who accepts the "marriage" proposal.

Didn't know about the heroin specifically. The distinction isn't important though. The good news is that they've made some gains when it comes to literacy, and almost 1 in 3 girls can read. In another 50 years, half the country will be able to read.

Not sure where you got the notion that child sex slavery was taboo in Afghanistan though. If you ever visit again, see what happens if you explain that Mohamad "marrying" a prepubescent child was wrong.
