Strict Interpretation Of Sharia By The Taliban

Under the Taliban regime, women were also forced to cover themselves completely from head to toe, even covering their eyes. Women who were doctors and teachers suddenly were forced to be beggars and even prostitutes in order to feed their families. Women accused of prostitution were publicly stoned to death in the soccer stadium in Kabul.

The Taliban had a large number of restrictions placed on the rights of Afghan women. They were not allowed to work anywhere outside of their home. This meant that a woman could not be a professional in any type of job. Women also could not deal with any male shopkeeper or doctors.

The Taliban are a part of history and people should be aware of who they are and what they do. The Taliban has evolved over the years and unfortunately have grown stronger over the years. They started off as a group of students and it is sad to know that these students who could have started with a good future ended up being a part of a terrorist group. They think they are doing right because they may read the Quran but they only focus on the words and passages they want to hear and say to defend their terrorist group without reading the passage or verse fully and trying to understand the real words of Allah. The Taliban have been around for a long time and as a result the Taliban havetaken over territory such as Afghanistan and many others. One of the territories the Taliban has is Afghanistan and the government is seen as corrupted because they help the Taliban. Corruption may exist anywhere but would the Afghan government be supporting the Taliban with weapons because they want to or because of fear?

The second aspect of the regime that really amazed me was how the women are treated under the Taliban rule. Every woman must wear a burqa veil no matter where she is going. If a woman is found outside of her house with out her veil on she can be whipped or

The Constitution that was created in Afghanistan during the 1920’s, stated equal rights for women and men. In fact, during the year of 1959, new policies created educational and career opportunities and voluntary removal of having to wear the burka. Women’s roles become similarly equivalent to male roles; they had the opportunity to acquire knowledge from universities, and were provided jobs in industrial, business, and entertainment settings. The atrocities that came about during the Mujaheddin and Taliban control were unheard of years prior, when women lived in peace and prosperity

The Taliban’s rules are strict and focus on Islam. There are a lot of restrictions against women. The Taliban treat women harshly with their laws. The stated aim of the Taliban was to “create a

During the mid 90’s, an Islamic fundamentalist group called the “Taliban” took control of central Afghanistan. This sudden regime change caused a catastrophic loss of civil liberties as well as civil disrupt throughout the entire country, causing many surges in Afghani immigrants. Political journalist of “The Taliban: War, Religion, and the New Order in Afghanistan” Peter Marsden, writes about how women in Afghanistan were forced to wear chakri 's in public, and could not leave the home without a male guardian. In afghanistan, women faced many internal barriers that violated their unalienable rights, and this in turn impeded their ability to evade from such violation through

The Taliban founded in the year of 1994 by a man named Mullah Mohammad Omar. It originated in Afghanistan and was created with the purpose of destroying the foreign military in Afghanistan and to reestablish the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan under strict Sharia Law ("Taliban Narrative"). The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan would then be brought back into play in the year of 1996. However, the event that led to the creation of the Taliban happened almost a decade earlier in the year of 1979. In 1979 the Soviets began invading Afghanistan, they were there for about ten years and then withdrew late in the year of 1988 and early 1989. Mujahedeen forces then removed the soviet government in the year of 1992 and led to rivalry between groups. A year

The Taliban started to control the country and their leadership directly impacted the women. Women who once had jobs outside of their home, using their skills to provide for their family were no longer allowed to work from anywhere outside of their home. Instead, they were forced to stay inside their house. The restriction that was put on the women made it harder on them to provide for their families and find ways to work. The restriction not only affected women who wanted to work but also women who wanted to further their education. It would be very difficult for a women to be educated just within the home, so not only were women limited in their work but also education. Whenever a woman wanted to leave the home, the rule was that a male

The Taliban told women, “You will stay inside your homes at all times…If you go outside, you must be accompanied by a mahram, a male relative” (Hosseini 248). On top of that, “Girls [were] forbidden from attending school. All schools for girls [were] closed immediately” (Hosseini

The Taliban is an extremist Islamic group highly emphasizing a strong interpretation of sharia law that arose in the early 1990s after the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan. Referencing the BBC article, a common belief holds that the Taliban first emerged in religious seminaries that preached a hard line of Sunni Islam. The Taliban’s promise to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the surrounding area was to restore peace and security using their interpretation of the sharia law once they were in power (“Who Are the Taliban?”). Along with the many new policies and regulations of society, there arose a new interpretation of the role of women in society. Women became very restricted and had to live in a way that was extremely submissive to men to the point where it was almost dehumanizing, as many would argue. Although the Taliban has been out of control in Afghanistan since December of 2001, remnants of their oppression towards women remain. In this paper, I will demonstrate the Taliban’s remaining effects in Afghan society regarding many aspects of everyday life, such as the workforce, education, healthcare, and human rights. To begin, I will give a brief overview of how Afghan women participated in society before the Taliban came to power. I will then provide information and examples that shed light on women’s life during Taliban rule. In the final section of this paper, I will describe how the lifestyle of women has changed as a result of the Taliban’s oppressive laws and

The majority of the Taliban are uneducated countryside locals that know little of politics. Their values include protecting the honor of women, dressing modestly, and other conservative Muslim customs (Dorronsoro). To enforce their rules they would use methods such as public executions, beatings, and immediate murder. The Swallows of Kabul by Yasmina Khadra is a book about the city of Kabul under the rule of the Taliban. In the book one of the female characters are arrested and a Taliban leader is talking to the jailer about her. He says, “She’s going to stay here a bit longer than the others.” The jailer asks why and he responds, “Because of the big rally in the stadium next Friday. Some very high ranking guests will be in attendance. To provide this event with some atmosphere, the authorities have decided to carry out ten or twelve public executions. Your inmate is to be included in the lot. In the beginning the qazi wanted to have her shot right away. Then, since there was no woman on the program for Friday, they gave her a reprieve until then.” The Taliban had a strict set of rules and too much power, so they carried out executions like this to keep the public in order and drive them away from Western ideas. They viewed foreigners as a threat to what they stand for and wanted to keep them out of their

(AGG) We have heard many rules of the Taliban that people under them need to obey to stay safe. (BS-1) In ‘Under the Persimmon Tree’ the Taliban rule of boys aged 15 or above being snatched away from their families and being put in the Taliban army creates conflicts for Najmah and sets the plot for her storyline.(BS-2) Similarly, the rule of women always having to wear a burqa creates conflicts for Nusrat and sets the plot for her storyline.(BS-3) Najmah and Nusrat both receive conflicts with the rule of women not being allowed out alone.

Before everything happened such as the Taliban, women were allowed To choose their own clothing. They were allowed to leave the house without a male by their side every second. The Taliban was a big controversy with women because They outlawed education for women, There was a lot of abused physically and mentally, And I had to wear full veils from top to bottom. If you didn't follow the rules or betrayed them you would either go to jail, They would cut parts of your body are, they would leave you to flee for your husband, Are you at have a public death. The rules were even more enforced and
