Kabul: The Islamic extremist organization, Taliban, has imposed new laws and regulations in the newly seized areas of Afghanistan’s Northern Province of Takhar. As per reports, the Taliban has ordered women not to leave their homes alone, males to grow their beards and have set dowry regulations for girls. ‘They urged women in a statement to not leave home without a male relative. Taliban insist on trials without evidence,’ said Merajuddin Sharifi, a civil society activist in Takhar.
However, Taliban has declined the accusations and claimed that the news is propaganda against the group.
