Virgin Girl Silent? She Can Be Married !
This would essentially mean that a virgin girl who has hit puberty can be married by a person if she remains silent when asked for consent.
The Taliban administration in Afghanistan has been taking several decisions with regard to public policy making, and they are back on the job again now. They have issued a new regulation regarding the female consent for marriage and let’s have a look into the same.
Afghanistan’s Taliban interim government has reportedly issued new marriage regulations that officially recognize child marriage, stating that the silence of a virgin girl who has reached puberty may be interpreted as consent to marriage.
This would essentially mean that a virgin girl who has hit puberty can be married by a person if she remains silent when asked for consent.
Generally, it is the vocal agreement that is regarded as a standard procedure for consent amongst women and men equally. But the Taliban administration in Afghanistan has taken a completely different approach to this matter.
This could further increase the child marriage rate in Afghanistan, and this is being criticized by the world health organisation and other major law making institutions globally.
Taliban had been very particular about their administration in the country over the years, and they are on the job again now. Despite the criticism that is coming from global countries, the chances are that that Afghanistan administration might stick to their principles.
Many people are commenting that the woman might be remaining silent due to fear of operation and physical damage, and that can’t be taken as a consent of positivity.
