Salaam,

KABUL, Apr 3, 2012 (IPS) - Mursal, a beautiful 19-year-old girl who has run away from home to escape a mentally ill husband, is just one of many Afghan women and girls who are now considered criminals under the country’s laws on ‘morality.’

How disturbing.

Subhan"Allah, sadly it will be awhile before women like Mursal get a government that will uphold their rights. A stable and well educated society will not emerge without the existence of competent and effective government institutions. America's war on Afghanistan just made women more vulnerable to crimes and discrimination.
