The Taliban government’s recent order, demanding women to remove their photos from official documents, has caused a stir. The move has triggered a wave of criticism and raised questions about the application of the law. The public is questioning whether the Taliban’s decree will apply equally to all women.
The images of the officials’ wives, shared by former CIA agent Sara Adams, have added fuel to the fire. Adams highlighted that some officials’ wives possess passports with makeup-enhanced photos. She also pointed out the contradiction given the ban on beauty salons.
The situation has raised questions about the double standards within the Taliban regime, especially regarding women’s rights and freedoms.
