An alarming incident resembling scenes from a Kabul bazaar unfolded right in the heart of Germany. Adana Q. (26), an illiterate farmer hailing from Afghanistan, was determined to marry a young girl. Shockingly, the chosen bride was a mere 13 years old and happened to be a close relative. Astonishingly, her own father appeared unfazed by the prospect of selling his underage daughter to this man. Without hesitation, he accepted a dowry of 6,500 euros.
Following the transaction, the migrant jubilantly hosted a celebration with his friends at the asylum center. However, the groom’s assumptions were swiftly challenged by his intended bride. In stark contrast to Adnan Q., the young girl, having arrived in the West, adamantly rejected the notion of a forced marriage. Her resistance had consequences; the displaced Afghan repeatedly pursued her, issuing threats and even resorting to physical violence. He went so far as to confront her after school, wielding a knife and assaulting her.
Facing criminal charges for coercion and threats, Adnan Q., who arrived with the major wave of refugees in 2015 and now works as a cleaner, is embroiled in a legal dispute stemming from the ruptured forced wedding. Meanwhile, the issue of reclaiming the 6,500 euro dowry remains unresolved. The judge queried, “Do you believe that women can be bought? Is spending money all it takes to marry a woman?” To this, Adnan Q. responded, “This is how it’s done in Afghanistan and here as well. I’m not the only one.”

Asserting that he perceives himself as a victim, the Afghan’s public defender stated, “He feels exploited and manipulated.”
The judge’s patience reached its limit: “You have no entitlement to a refund, as such actions go against German law. The money will not be returned.” With the court adjourned, the verdict is expected shortly.
