The vice and virtue laws on Wednesday that cover aspects of everyday life such as public transportation, music, shaving and celebration, are set out in a 114-page, 35-article document seen by The Associated Press and are the first formal declaration of vice and virtue laws in Afghanistan since the takeover.

Article 13 relates to women. It says it is mandatory for a woman to veil her body at all times in public and that a face covering is essential to avoid temptation and tempting others. Clothing should not be thin, tight or short.
Women are obliged to cover themselves in front of non-Muslim males and females to avoid being corrupted. A woman’s voice is deemed intimate and so should not be heard singing, reciting or reading aloud in public. It is forbidden for women to look at men they are not related to by blood or marriage and vice versa.
Article 17 bans the publication of images of living beings, threatening an already fragile Afghan media landscape.

According to the ministry website, the promotion of virtue includes prayer, aligning the character and behavior of Muslims with Islamic law, encouraging women.

Last month, a U.N. report said the ministry was contributing to a climate of fear and intimidation among Afghans through edicts and the methods used to enforce them.
It said the ministry’s role was expanding into other areas of public life, including media monitoring and eradicating drug addiction.
“Given the multiple issues outlined in the report, the position expressed by the de facto authorities that this oversight will be increasing and expanding gives cause for significant concern for all Afghans, especially women and girls,” said Fiona Frazer, the head of the human rights service at the U.N. mission in Afghanistan.
Pluck out your eyes!
A woman’s voice is deemed intimate and so should not be heard singing, reciting or reading aloud in public.
Eardrums, too.
Women are just too sexy! If men cannot control themselves, maybe we should deal with the root cause of their problems. Their penises!!!
Take the testicles, too. Since they can’t demonstrate the discipline required to disregard their own temptations, they aren’t fit to be able to reproduce.
Okay, everybody line up neatly in a queue 🧐✂️
Imagine having no impulse control, and blaming half the population for it.
It’s worse than that. They have impulse control. They’re weaponizing r* as a method of punishment and control. Expose yourself at your own risk. Be silent or be killed.
It’s truly pathetic.
The only way for me not to beat off in public is to see no women!
I get this feeling that “eradicating drug addiction” means eradicating those with it. This is basically MAGA, but the A means “Afghanistan”.
“Make America Great, Afghanistan”
Make Afghanistan Great America also has a nice corporate ring to it
I just imagine this taliban dude coming home and sitting down in his reclining chair and going: “Aaahhh, I finally won the war against my tinky winky.”
I fully expect them to prohibit any type of communication between women sometime in the future, just to ensure they can’t try to organize via mobile phones.
One the few things the USA did good there was finally teaching women how to read and write, the Taliban keeps them illiterate on purpose.
