In an effort to fight vice and encourage virtue, Afghanistan’s Taliban leaders have instituted a moratorium on women’s voices and plain encounters in public in response to new laws approved by the supreme leader.
According to a government official, the laws were released on Wednesday after they were approved by high chief Hibatullah Akhundzada. After taking control of the country in 2021, the Taliban had established a ministry for “propagation of morality and the prevention of sin.”
The government published its evil and morality laws on Wednesday that handle aspects of everyday living like public transportation, music, cutting and celebrations. They begin in a 114-page, 35-article report that AP has seen, and it is the first official declaration of sin and virtue regulations in Afghanistan since the invasion.
The government is in charge of controlling individual behavior, imposing penalties like arrests or warnings if officials allege Afghans have broken the laws, as mandated by the rules.
Article 13 refers to people. It specifies that a person must always cover her figure in common and that wearing a face concealing will help her avoid temptation and tempting others. Clothing should not be skinny, strong or short. To prevent being corrupted, women are required to handle themselves in front of non-Muslim men and women. A person’s speech is deemed close and so should not be heard song, reading, or reading loudly in people. It is against the law for women to gaze upon men with whom they are not related by blood or relationship, and vice versa. Article 19 forbids the stirring of men and women who are not related to one another, the transport of single women travelers, and the watching of music. Additionally, the legislation mandates that drivers and passengers pray at specific times.
