Bosque Posted August 23 Posted August 23 Quote Afghanistan's Taliban rulers have issued a ban on women's voices and bare faces in public under new laws approved by the supreme leader in efforts to combat vice and promote virtue. Article 13 relates to women. It says it is mandatory for a woman to veil her body at all times in public and that a face covering is essential to avoid temptation and tempting others. Clothing should not be thin, tight or short. Women are obliged to cover themselves in front of non-Muslim males and females to avoid being corrupted. A woman's voice is deemed intimate and so should not be heard singing, reciting, or reading aloud in public. It is forbidden for women to look at men they are not related to by blood or marriage and vice versa. No thank you

KillingYourCareer Posted August 23 Posted August 23 Afghanistan has some stunning attractions. If the UAE scam millions of people into visiting their overpriced, artificial cities every year while having a human rights record not much better than Afghanistan, I don't see what's stopping the Talibans from luring backpackers in! 4 2
