Gul, 28, is a native of nearby Faryab province, but has sought refuge in Herat province amid the war and other violence.
She said she did not have any other option except to sell her kidney and to pay the loans of her husband who was in Taliban custody.
The Taliban has not commented.
“I had been pregnant for 50 days on the day I gave my kidney I didn’t tell the doctors that I was pregnant, because I had to do it,” said Khawrai Gul.
