What are the better options? This is survival. The occupation miniboom is over, the Taliban rule, and they will otherwise either starve, or be left permanently disabled in one way or another from malnourishment. Now, without an appendix, the main girl talked about in the article is especially vulnerable to contagions. I'll bet many families wish they had the option to offer their children, like that, to get them out of starving while they try to grow up. It seems the best available option, with much less foreign aid coming in.
It would be better if he could find someone to marry her off to that wasn't related, though. At least stop all the inbreeding risks.
Do you want to give the Taliban money and rations, now that you know things are this bad?

That's really too bad. If you can take a break and look away from your 'poor, pity me' crystal ball, you might realize that there are millions, if not billions of people all over the world who shit out a bunch of kids without any kind of foresight as to how they will feed them and raise them.
Not to mention believing that the 'White Man' will just open his hands and provide a cornucopia of free food, clothing, housing, education and money.
Also following a belief system and has you make as many babies as possible to be used as soldiers for your 'faith'. How they get fed and clothed from the moment they pop out of a uterus until they are 'of age' for jihad is of no concern.
This is R/K selection in a nutshell. They breed like rats, and their offspring are considered just as disposable as rats.
What poor, pity me crystal ball? I see double digit IQ literal barbarians, just in a world with some degree of civilization around them. I disagree with nothing else in your comment.
My issue is trying to ascribe some like evil to them. I don't see people like this having the intellect necessary for that. The so-called leaders importing them, OTOH...

If my family were in a similar situation they'd probably just try on their own until the kid dies tbh.
Agreed. But, I'm going to guess that you come from a culture and ethnic heritage that valued people as individuals with some agency, and worthy of agency. Christianity had that habit, in a big way. In most of the Middle East and North Africa, much of India, and much of China, family exists to be exploited, but it's better to be exploited by family than strangers.

My apologies on my reply. I believe I read too deeply into your first paragraph.
Exterminatus.
