There is a young woman sheltering under a tree between two busy roads clutching a pile of documents to her chest.
These pieces of paper are more important to Bibi Nazdana than anything in the world: they are the divorce granted to her after a two-year court battle to free herself from life as a child bride.
They are the same papers a Taliban court has invalidated - a victim of the group’s hardline interpretation on Sharia (religious law) which has seen women effectively silenced in Afghanistan’s legal system.
Nazdana’s divorce is one of tens of thousands of court rulings revoked since the Taliban took control of the country three years ago this month.
It’s weird seeing bigotry normalized to the point you people think what you just said is an okay thing to say.
Sorry. It’s not okay to oppress women (or anyone else). Don’t give a fuck what any religion says.
That’s nice dear. We were having a different conversation, but I guess with Biden and Trump as examples you were just having a presidential moment.
