There is a young woman sheltering under a tree between two busy roads clutching a pile of documents to her chest.
These pieces of paper are more important to Bibi Nazdana than anything in the world: they are the divorce granted to her after a two-year court battle to free herself from life as a child bride.
They are the same papers a Taliban court has invalidated - a victim of the group’s hardline interpretation on Sharia (religious law) which has seen women effectively silenced in Afghanistan’s legal system.
Nazdana’s divorce is one of tens of thousands of court rulings revoked since the Taliban took control of the country three years ago this month.
A GOP wet dream
I mean, the last GOP president literally handed the country back to the Taliban - so less of a dream, and more of a conservative “success” story.
In their defense the previous government was a puppet government installed and propped up by the US. It wasn’t particularly popular and could never sustain itself without direct foreign military support.
It was a löst cause, in the end, no one wanted to pay for reconfiguring traditions and values that were made up a long time ago
WTF? That’s like saying a Democrat’s wet dream would be for Israel to be wiped off the planet…
Fuck religion, it has no right to play a part in government.
The state is its own religion - the most damaging religion (including OP).
“Women aren’t qualified or able to judge because in our Sharia principles the judiciary work requires people with high intelligence,” says Abdulrahim Rashid, director of foreign relations and communications at Taliban’s Supreme Court.
IDK why someone would actually say this even if you did believe it were true. This guy is director of communications? Just say “The big wigs say only dudes can be judges.” At least you’re not giving away a quote like that.
destroy all abrahamic religions for the sake of humanity
