OSAMA is a title of a movie....
I watched it just before the New Year and felt so sorry for the little girl.
The scene is in Afghanistan during the reign of the Taliban. A Mujahadeen died fighting the Russians. He is survived by his mother, his wife, and a daughter. Since the Taliban does not allow women to get on the street unaccompanied by men, the family could not get out to find work to survive.
So the girl dressed like a boy and accompanied her mother to work. Later the Taliban rounded up all the boys to train them for war. Eventually the girl was discovered.
The Taliban pretended to execute her, but finally grant her a pardon, and gave her over to the Mullah. This Mullah already had acquired several wives by using his power in the religious heirarchy. Now he is delighted to find this little girl as his youngest wife.
I felt depressed after watching this movie. I rented this movie from Blockbuster.
