The condition of women in Afghanistan is very bad. Earlier the condition of women in Afghanistan was bad, but ever since the Taliban took over, the condition of women has become worse. The Taliban regime has imposed similar restrictions on women. Now in this sequence, Supreme Leader of Taliban Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada has issued a new decree against women. According to the decree, any woman found guilty of having sexual relations with a man other than her husband would be stoned to death.
'Will bring back Sharia in Afghanistan'
An audio message of Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada has also surfaced. In this audio message, Akhundzada challenged the democracy of Western countries and ordered strict implementation of Islamic Sharia law. The Taliban leader said, 'When we stone them you say it is a violation of women's rights, but soon this punishment will also apply to adultery. Guilty women would be publicly whipped and stoned. Akhundzada said that do women want the rights that western countries are talking about? All such rights are against Shariat and the opinion of the clerics. The same clerics who overthrew Western democracy. We fought the Westerners for 20 years and if need be, we will continue to fight for the next 20 years. The Taliban leader also said that when we recaptured Kabul, our work was not completed. We are not going to sit quietly and drink tea. We will bring back Sharia in Afghanistan.
Taliban said this
It is also worth noting that when the Taliban took power in Afghanistan, they assured that they would not violate women's rights. However, women's rights are being violated in Afghanistan. Girls' school education has been banned. Women were mostly fired from jobs or replaced by a male member of their family. In Afghanistan, women are also banned from many things like going to beauty parlor and playing sports.
UN report came out
Recently a United Nations report has come out on the situation of women in Afghanistan. The report expresses concern over the arbitrary detention of women and girls. The report claims that women in jail were physically abused during the Taliban rule. The report demands the Taliban regime to immediately lift restrictions on women's clothing and end the detention of girls.
Sharia law
After occupying Afghanistan, Taliban said that Sharia law would be implemented in the country. Sharia is like a legal system for people who believe in Islam. This applies to many Islamic countries. However, it is not fully implemented in most Islamic countries, including Pakistan. It includes laws on many big issues ranging from everyday life. Sharia also includes laws related to family, finance and business. There are strict rules for punishment for crimes.
