Last August she turned his face to the world by the hand of Time magazine. Aisha Bibi is a 19 year old girl whose husband cut off her nose and ears for having run away from home, where she was a slave. Now, Bibi is presented to the public in Los Angeles wearing a very natural appearance, as you have placed a prosthesis and reconstructive treatment step prior to the Grossman Burn Foundation paid in California. Aisha Bibi's story is relatively common in Afghanistan. Her father gave her and her baby sister to pay a blood debt, as the uncle of the girls had killed a man. Bibi was delivered in Uruzgan to the family of her new husband, who was a Taliban fled. In the house of his in-laws were the two girls, is a slave of his ten-in-law, of those receiving blows and insults, and who made them sleep in the barn. Desperate to what was happening, Bibi decided to flee to the south, to Kandahar, with the help of two neighbors who really wanted to sell. A police patrol discovered them and eventually spent five months in jail until her husband gave her. As in Afghanistan Taliban courts work, she was sentenced to a punishment of her husband, who cut off his nose and ears in the desert, where he left to his fate. ,, No one knows exactly how Bibi out of this bind: Some say he crawled to the house of his grandfather and others who found it almost by accident, American volunteers from an NGO. The truth is that it was sent to the shelter for Afgan Woman Woman (WAW), where he spent ten months . Slowly and with the help of a psychologist Aisha spoke again and sometimes even smiling until he received the news that was to be operated in Los Angeles by a foundation to cover expenses . Now I have to wait for definitive surgery and, especially, get free his sister, who, ten years, is home of the husband's family, probably paying for what his uncle and also the young Bibi Aisha.
