Afghanistan: The Taliban have introduced a controversial new family law in the country, triggering global concern over the rights of women and girls under its rule. The decree reportedly allows the silence of a “virgin girl” after puberty to be treated as consent for marriage, while expanding the authority of Taliban-controlled courts in family matters. The regulations also address child marriage, annulment procedures, adultery allegations and forced separation between spouses. Human rights groups warn the measures could normalise coercion in a country already facing sweeping restrictions on women’s education and public life. The United Nations and international organisations have condemned the policies, warning Afghanistan faces growing diplomatic isolation.
