On 25 October 2015, 19-year-old Rukhshana was stoned to death for alleged adultery in Ghalmin village, Ghor Province. Rukhshana's father had married her off to a disabled man at age 13, but she had not accepted the marriage and ran away with her childhood love. After being arrested and returned to her parents multiple times, a local commander, Mullah Yusuf, allegedly captured her and handed her over to a group identified as Taliban. The men demanded five million afghani from her father for her release, threatening to kill her if he refused to pay. When her father refused the payment, Mullah Hashem ordered the stoning. A two-minute video of her death went viral on social media, showing the teenage girl placed in a hole in the ground and surrounded by men who hurled stones at her until she died.
