Taliban allows men to beat wives if no bones broken, under new decree.
The Taliban has issued a decree permitting men to physically discipline their wives, as long as no bones are broken or visible wounds remain, according to a leaked document.
The rule, which codifies existing practices, allows up to 15 days in prison if injuries exceed those limits.
The decree also imposes harsh penalties for dissent, animal fighting, child disobedience, and teacher violence, while criminalizing insults to Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada with 39 lashes and a year in prison.
Women’s rights remain severely restricted, with bans on work and education, and their testimony valued at half that of men’s.
Human rights groups have condemned the decree as legitimizing systemic abuse and oppression, calling it a violation of basic human rights.
