Afghanistan News: Domestic Violence Now Legal In Taliban's Afghanistan But With Strange Conditions

Описание: Afghanistan News: Domestic Violence Now Legal In Taliban's Afghanistan But With Strange Conditions

Taliban’s new penal code legalises domestic violence against wives and children if no 'broken bones or open wounds' appear. The 90-page code allows husbands to physically punish their wives and children under narrow conditions. The law was signed by Taliban supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada. Punishments for visible injuries can result in only up to 15 days in jail if abuse is proved. Conviction requires women to present their injuries in court while fully covered and escorted by a male guardian. The code abolishes the 2009 Elimination of Violence Against Women (EVAW) law. Rights groups warn the change undermines gender equality and women’s legal protections. Critics say the law reflects the Taliban’s restrictive policies toward women and children. International rights organisations are alarmed at the code’s impact on women’s safety and rights.
