The Taliban government of Afghanistan has issued a new decree on the rights of women in accordance with the sharia laws in the country. The law focusses on women\u2019s right to marriage, right to inherit property and remarriage.<\/p>\n

Key points:<\/span><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. A women\u2019s consent had to be taken before marriage. No women should be forced to marry anyone.<\/li>\n
  2. A woman has the right to inherit the property of her dead husband. No one could deny her a share of her husband\u2019s inheritance.<\/li>\n
  3. A widow cannot be forcibly married off to a member of the husband\u2019s family or any other man without her consent.<\/li>\n
  4. In case of a second marriage of a widow, she has the right to ask for “Mehar” from her new husband. There have been several cases when widows were not given the traditional “Mehar.”<\/li>\n
  5. In case of a man with more than one wife, it was incumbent on the husband to look after both in accordance with the sharia law. Both are to be treated with respect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The new decree is being highly criticised in the world for being silent upon women\u2019s right to education and work outside home.<\/p>\n
