The horror of Afghan women under the Taliban - The Issue #1725

In recent weeks, the fundamentalist group that governs Afghanistan published the document entitled "Principles of Separation Between Spouses", which changes the legislation on marriages in the country. In this way, a common tragedy in rural regions was made official as law: child marriage. In practice, the Taliban overturned the minimum age for marriage, which was 16 years old: now, girls up to 9 years old are subjected to forced marriage. The text also establishes an extreme interpretation of consent: the silence of a "virgin girl" must be understood as a "yes". The measure is seen by international experts as the institutionalization of child rape and domestic violence.
Guest: Adriana Carranca, writer and journalist, participated in special coverage in Afghanistan and other regions of the Middle East.
The podcast O Assunto is produced by: Luiz Felipe Silva, Sarah Resende, Carlos Catelan, Luiz Gabriel Franco, Juliene Moretti, Stéphanie Nascimento and Guilherme Gama. Presentation: Natuza Nery.
