1. According to reports, the Taliban has
requested a list of girls over the age of
15, as well as widows under the age of
45, to marry their militants.
The Taliban's latest decree comes as it takes control of a number of major areas and border
crossings with Iran, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan following the US and Nato troops'
nearly 20-year withdrawal from Afghanistan.

According to reports, the Taliban has promised to marry them to its fighters and transport them
to Waziristan in Pakistan.
According to the Sun, a letter sent in the name of the Taliban's Cultural Commission stated, "All
imams and mullahs in conquered areas should supply the Taliban with a list of females over 15
and widows under 45 to be married to Taliban fighters."
Previously, women in Afghanistan's northern region of Takhar were ordered not to leave their

Islamic law. They also set dowry regulations for girls.
Afghanistan's elders now claim that the Taliban will kidnap their girls, compel them to marry, and
convert them into slaves. "We've been depressed since the Taliban gained power. We are not

over the age of 18 is wicked and that they must marry "According to the Financial Times, Haji
