Bibi Nazdana .. the Taliban is invalidating divorces granted by the Afghan court - forcing divorced child brides to return to their previous marital status..
The Taliban is attempting to force divorced child brides to return to their adult former husbands, despite the girls having been granted divorce by the Afghan government.. citing the case of Bibi Nazdana.
Nazdana, who has now fled Afghanistan with her brother, spent two years pursuing a divorce which the Taliban claimed is invalid based on the terror group’s interpretation of Sharia law. Her case is reportedly one of tens of thousands.
At seven years old, Nazdana had been promised to a farmer in an attempt to reconcile feuding families. She petitioned the Afghan courts, who ruled in her favor, ending her marriage..
"The court congratulated me and said, 'You are now separated and free to marry whomever you want...
After her former husband appealed to the courts in 2021, demanding the divorce be revoked, the Taliban disallowed Nazdana from representing herself - insisting that it violated Sharia law. Instead, the Taliban had Nazdana’s brother Shams represent her..
"They told us if we didn't comply," said Shams to the BBC, "they would hand my sister over to him (Hekmatullah) by force."
...
Taliban rules divorce is invalid..
Despite her brother’s representation, the Taliban-led court ruled in favor of Nazdana’s former husband - a registered member of the terror group.
"The previous corrupt administration's decision to cancel Hekmatullah and Nazdana's marriage was against the Sharia and rules of marriage," Abdulwahid Haqani, a media officer for the Taliban’s Supreme Court..
After the ruling, both Nazdana and Shams fled Afghanistan. Now 20, Nazdana said that she sought help from the United Nations and a variety of other parties but has not found support.
"I have knocked on many doors asking for help, including the UN, but no one has heard my voice," she told the BBC. "Where is the support? Don't I deserve freedom as a woman?"
The Taliban claimed that since taking control of the country, they reviewed some 355,000 cases - 30% of which were classified as family issues.
Good job Kammy.
Poor girls.
I hear the suicide rate among these child brides is very high.
Small wonder. Nobody wants to live a hellish existence like they have to.
Any American feminist women going over there to show them how to “protest” ?
The sad answer to her question, is no, under Taliban Muslim rule, she doesn’t have any freedom as a woman.
I somehow doubt that a child initiated a divorce petition. It is likely that the advocate who assisted her is dead, imprisoned or in hiding by now.
That should be exciting huh?
They won didn’t they?
Sucks... anyway, people in North Carolina are in thirst, hunger and cold. Every possible nice hotel and shelter is clogged with illegal aliens.
They are not Westerners with a different paint job. They are an inscrutable stone age people who are hard wired to live the same way they lived thousands of years ago. That is never going to change.
The sad thing for Russia and the United States is that both countries squandered unimaginable treasure on absolutely nothing.
Some people deserve to get what they want, good and hard.
I know a couple femnazis in my office, when I ask why they don’t protest over in the middle east I just get a blank stare and they go back to their talking points.
So it seems she found the best remedy, leave the country and don’t go back (I am surprised they let her leave).
Neither Russia nor the United States ever understood that Aftrashastan is a primitive stone age culture.
But your main point is quite valid, their culture is not anything at all like ours. Their national sport, buzkashi, is similar to polo but the ‘ball’ is a weighted goat carcass. Under Mohammed Zahir Shah knives were disallowed. I wonder the Taliban brought back the knives since they are such traditionalists.
“ Any American feminist women going over there to show them how to “protest”?
…how about the guy who claimed to be a girl on the Olympic Boxing Team and beat the snuff out of the real girl. Maybe it should go
I don't care about Russia's invasion, but I feel sick when I think of all the deaths and maiming of our Troops while trying to nation build. Is it any wonder why so many Veterans are drug-addled bums living on the streets?
I hear the suicide rate among these child brides is very high.
Small wonder. Nobody wants to live a hellish existence like they have to.
If it were the murder rate that soared, perhaps more ex-husbands would get the message, and stop re-enslaving their once child brides?
Considering we gave the Aghan people twenty years of our blood and treasure, it’s clear then that this is what they want.
In an Afghan meal, the men eat first, then leave, and women get the leftovers. In an Afghan wedding, the fathers meet first at a meal, agree on the dowry, and then agree to the marriage. I was the only non-Afghan at the one I attended. And the groom wasn’t even there, having had an appendicitis attack the day before.
At the wedding celebration the men and women are separated. The men never see the bride, but the groom visits the women. The wedding halls and meals are three or more years pay, but it’s a shame to not have a big wedding. I could go on…
I doubt it.
