Taliban in Afghanistan: What is a Sharia Law and what does it mean for women?

New Delhi: The Taliban government in Kabul is no longer hesitant.
What is still unclear – the extent to which new government policies will reflect them from the previous Taliban regime.
The rebels have tried to project themselves as reformed from their previous avatars, but only a few took it at a nominal value.
What legal and criminal system will be adopted by the new Taliban? Will Afghanistan see ‘smooth’ sharia law, or will it be a setback to the 1996-2001? Justice Under Sharia Problems’ Interpretation’Sharia is a religious legal system taken from the Qur’an and Hadith – words or actions of the prophet Muhammad and subject to interpretations of legal experts, scholars and politicians.
Countries adhering to sharia differ in their interpretation of law and also at the level of conformity.
How Sharia must be applied has become a subject of disputes between conservative and liberal Muslims, and remains very contested.
By several interpretations of certain verses in the Qur’an, men are held superior to women; Women who obey “obedient” and that if they constantly disobey, protect their men, as the last choice, must “attack” or “beat” them.
For financial matters and property inheritance, the Qur’an determines that a sister inherits half of her brother.
Some scholars argue that inheritance differences are balanced with the fact that men have the responsibility to support the finances of women, elderly and young people in the family.
According to other verses, the testimony of a woman is worth half of a man.
Flogging, Stoning and execution are permitted for ‘sin’ sexual honesty, sexual murder or murder.
The family of murder victims can forgive people who are condemned, often in exchange for blood money.
The Taliban ruled Afghanistan with iron fists between 1996-2001, enforced a tight and brutal sharia version.
Women’s rights are misused, and extreme punishment is often carried out in full public glare, to instill fear in mind.
What’s next for the Afghan justice system? The Taliban seemed to project a softer image when they were legitimized by the court of outside force.
Has shown relaxation of the interpretation of sharia previously brutally.
They have assured that there will be no retaliation for those who have worked for US or NATO forces.
They also convinced salvation for minorities and people from other nationalists.
Women will be allowed to be educated and at work, they say.
They will also be allowed rights and freedom ‘under Islamic law,’ said a Taliban spokesman recently.
And that’s where the catch is located.
What can be the interpretation of the Taliban about ‘Islamic law’ is a matter of pure allegations.
And there is a little challenging.
The story since takeover took the Taliban guarantee at a nominal value, and for a good reason.
Reports have emerged from attacks on rebel people generally hostile.
Amnesty International said Taliban fighters tortured and killed 9 members of the Hazara minority community after recently beating their village in Ghazni province.
Taliban fighters hunt down a journalist from Deutsche Welle, shot dead family members and greatly hurt others, said German public broadcasters; Three more journalists have their home raided.
Other female journalists were not permitted to work again working with Afghan state broadcasters after the Taliban takeover.
