Afghanistan's Taliban prohibits women from reciting Quran aloud or speaking to other women.

The Taliban in Afghanistan has enacted a new rule prohibiting women from reciting the Quran aloud or allowing their voices to be heard by other women. This decree, announced by Minister Khalid Hanafi, further restricts women's rights, adding to existing bans on education and public speaking. The Taliban's stringent measures, which have intensified since their return to power in 2021, raise significant concerns about the future of women's social and civil liberties in the country.
