Taliban's Child Marriage Decree: A License to Exploit The Taliban's latest move has sparked outrage worldwide, but it's hardly surprising given their track record on women's rights and girls' education.
The Afghan regime's new family law regulation includes a provision that silence from a "virgin girl" after puberty can be treated as consent for marriage, demonstrating the Taliban's disregard for young women's well being and agency.
This move is not just a blow to human rights; it's also a stark reminder of the Taliban's warped interpretation of Islamic law. The Quran emphasizes the importance of free will and protecting women from exploitation.
