Cruelty at its Best!

I happened to pick a dvd with three Afghani movies. I like to watch movies from different countries and languages. ( OK!! i dont understand language but they give good insight into culture.) The movie is about some barbaric rules in Afghanistan where in a woman is not allowed to walk out on street without a man.
The movie moves around a family of a lady, a little girl and an old grand mother. All men in their home have died in wars. They have no one to accompany them outside. If they dont go out then how do they earn for living? They decide to dress up their girl like a boy and follow her for work. There is one street urchin who knows that she is a girl, but he decides to keep quite.
One day, all young boys are caught to teach islamic learnings and she is also made to join the troop.
The movie revolves around her escapade and fears that she will be killed if its discovered that she is a girl disguised as a boy.
The barbarians find out that she is breaking "law". They decide to kill her. No one comes to save her. She is married off to a 60 year old man in the name of mercy.

Oops!! Do people have any sense left? Where do their rationality go? When they make laws, dont they know that women are also human, they need to eat and live too or does the religion consider them to be worse than animals? I was shocked. If they think woman are that bad, its better to kill them and survive in this world alone with their supremacy. In the end, its not men's world. Its a world where every entity has a unique place. Anything that has life and emotions has to be treated with human sense. But the issue is not just the men, its also the women who accept it.
