Ariana News quoted civil society activists at Takhar said that the Taliban had also set a dowry regulation for girls. “They urged women in a statement not to leave without relatives (Moharam) and also urged the man to have a beard,” Raajuddin Sharifi, a civil society activist at Takhar, quoted by Ariana News. Sharifi also said “The Taliban insisted on the trials without evidence.”

They include restrictions on girls from schools and women from working outside their homes and forbid them from the public without male relatives before they were overthrown after the US-led invasion in 2001. Those who violated the rules often experienced insults and public beatings by Taliban religious police.
