On Being a Girl in Islam > Taliban stone girl to death for trying to escape forced marriage

This is pure medieval savagery. A 19-year-old girl buried in a hole and stoned to death by Taliban savages for “adultery” after she tried to escape a forced marriage. No rights and no mercy. Just rocks, screams, and “Allahu Akbar.” Afghan women are trapped under this nightmare with zero defense. The world watches and does NOTHING. Why aren't all the Hollywood celebrities and influencers enraged about this? I’m sick that I feel so powerless to help these women.

According to Grok

Trisha Posner condemns a graphic video of a 19-year-old Afghan woman buried to her neck and stoned to death by Taliban members for "adultery" after fleeing a forced marriage, describing it as medieval savagery with cries amid "Allahu Akbar" chants.

The incident matches the well-documented 2015 stoning of Rukhshana in Taliban-controlled Ghor Province, Afghanistan, where she and her partner were captured after eloping; the video, originally released by Radio Free Europe, has resurfaced to highlight ongoing abuses.

Posner criticizes global inaction and the absence of outrage from Hollywood celebrities and influencers, expressing personal frustration over the powerless position of Afghan women under Taliban rule with severely restricted rights.
