The Ministry of Amr bil Maruf, Nahi anil Munkar, and Hearing Complaints of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan announced that its muhtasibs helped 13 women regain their rights under Sharia.

The women were assisted in Maidan Wardak, Nimroz, Kunduz, Takhar, Faryab, and Helmand provinces after being deprived of their Sharia rights due to domestic violence and harmful customs.

Such efforts form part of the ministry's continued work to hear complaints and ensure Sharia rights for women are upheld. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan ministry indicated that its activities are fostering improved conditions through sustained public outreach and reformatory initiatives.
