EXPLAINED: What Is Sharia Law & Why Afghan Women's Freedoms Will Depend On How Taliban See It

News 18  

Search online for the law that The Taliban swear by, and you will be greeted by a confusing plurality of spelling: sharia, shariya, shari’a, shariah. It is the Islamic law whose return the Afghanistan that has tasted modern democratic institutions, especially its women, and the wider world fear under the Taliban, though it might be more correct to say it is the group’s rigid interpretation of the law that has cast a chill on people anxious about the country’s future. Following the Taliban’s return in Kabul, reports have cited Afghan people expressing anxiety about the reimposition of the same oppressive regime as the Taliban had enforced during their rule between 1996 and 2001, although the group has sought to project a more moderate image for ‘Taliban 2.0’, a term coined by media in light of its more progressive pronouncements during its second coming. In a news meet on August 17, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said that women can enjoy rights “within the framework of Islamic law” although he did not elaborate on what that would be. “Although the Taliban officially state that they no longer oppose girls’ education, very few Taliban officials actually permit girls to attend school past puberty.
