Taliban Legalises Domestic Violence As Long As There Are No "Broken Bones"

Описание: Taliban Government | A new penal code introduced by the Taliban 'legalises' domestic violence against women by allowing husbands to physically punish their wives and children as long as it does not cause "broken bones or open wounds".

The penal code, signed by the Islamist group's supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, creates a different kind of caste system that allows different levels of punishment based on whether the offender is "free" or a "slave".

If a husband causes visible fractures or injuries in cases of "obscene force", he could face only 15 days in prison. Moreover, the man will only be convicted if the woman can successfully prove the abuse in court. The woman is expected to show her wounds to the judge while remaining fully covered. Her husband or a male chaperone is also required to accompany her to the court.

On the other hand, a married woman can be jailed for up to three months if she visits her relatives without her husband's permission.
