Taliban bans women from hearing each other
In the latest escalation of restrictions on Afghan women by the Taliban, a government minister declared that women are forbidden from praying loudly or reciting the Quran in front of one another.
During an event in Logar province, Vice and Virtue Minister Khalid Hanafi stated that it is prohibited for women to recite Quranic verses, chant “Allahu Akbar,” or express other religious phrases such as “subhanallah.”
He emphasized that women are also not allowed to perform the call to prayer, effectively banning singing as well.
This latest decree adds to the growing list of restrictions that already exclude women from education beyond sixth grade, limit their presence in public spaces, and bar them from most jobs.
