from Do you really know? · host Bababam
Since January 2026, Afghanistan has been operating under a new Code of Criminal Procedure, and for women, the situation has deteriorated further. In some cases, the law now allows a husband to legally administer corporal punishment to his wife. The provision comes from a new legal text introduced by the Taliban, published on January 4, 2026. The Afghan human rights NGO Rawadari obtained a copy and released an analysis later that month. In what cases is this allowed? So where does domestic violence come in? So is domestic violence ever punished under this code? Why introduce measures like these? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
