A shocking incident occurred in the Surkhandarya region: a 23-year-old woman, seeking financial gain, attempted to sell her baby in order to purchase a house in Termez.
Dildora decided that her daughter, born in 2024, could be used as a means to achieve her dream. Instead of caring for the baby’s future, she began looking for a buyer. Her goal was to sell the child for $15,000 to buy a house.
The woman found a buyer who agreed to her terms. The meeting took place at a restaurant in Termez. Dildora handed over the infant and signed a written agreement, stating that she would no longer have any claim over the child. She explicitly said, “Fine, let her be yours, not mine. I’m solving my problems. If you give me $15,000, you can take her.”
However, her plan fell apart. The buyer turned out to be an undercover agent, and the woman was apprehended by law enforcement.
The court in Termez carefully reviewed the case. It was established that the mother acted solely out of selfish motives, showing no concern for the environment in which her daughter would grow up or what might happen to her in the future.
As a result, Dildora was found guilty of committing a crime under Article 135, Part 3(a) of the Criminal Code (human trafficking). She was sentenced to six years in a general-regime penal colony.
Currently, the baby girl is under the care of the Center for Social Services.
This case raises questions about the socio-economic issues that may push people to such extremes. However, no hardship can justify depriving a child of the right to love, care, and safety.
Dildora’s story is not just a personal tragedy but also a wake-up call for society to consider how to prevent such situations in the future.
