Hi Afghanmania friends,
today I read an article in New York Times about an afghan family, which has no son but four daughters. They decided to dress up one of the girls as a boy to show the others that they have a son.
You can read the whole story here:

I’ve never heard or seen something like that in before and to be honest I was quite shoked…
I would like to ask you guys, have you ever heard about this “new trend”?
What do you think about it?

« Why can't afghans discuss?
ya i seen it in very rear cases specially in kids ages,but an adult daughter i have never seen. i think it just for the wishing of completion of their family. we should take it in positive sense.
Interesting article
I’ve worn boys clothes for more than five or six years.My Parents were not happy with my decision and they couldn’t say anything to me.When i turned 18 my elder sister forced me to started wearing girls clothes..I’m gonna post some of my piczz ;)
heheh bacha poshak aste dega ;-)
there is nothing wrong with it ;)I still wanna dress up like a boy but my elder sister won’t let me
if you want to still you like a boy, it is yours , why dont want your elder sister to do it??
I’ve lots of respect for her maybe more than myself and I can’t never go against her decisions
there is not much difference nowadays anyways, isnt it so?
both of the genders almost wear the same sort of cloths!
