In Afghanistan, 38 women have been freed from forced marriage, 40 women have been freed from domestic violence, and 24 women have been guaranteed a share of inheritance in accordance with Sharia law, the Islamic Emirate's Ministry of Promoting Virtues and Preventing Vices announced.
According to the ministry's report, significant results have been achieved in protecting women's rights across Afghanistan.
Earlier, the Supreme Leader of Afghanistan, Haibatullah Ogunzoda, issued a decree on women's rights.
In the decree, the leadership instructed all relevant officials, religious scholars, and elders to take serious measures to implement the following rights of women: the consent of an adult woman is required when marrying her, and no one can force women to marry.
According to the document, "a woman is not property, she is a respected and free person, and no one can give her away to anyone in exchange for any benefit."
