The decree added that middle-aged women” should cover their faces with the exception of their eyes, as required by Sharia law when meeting men who are not forbidden “.
The decree added that “it is preferable for women to stay at home” if they do not have an important job abroad. During their first term between 1996 and 2001, the Taliban imposed similar restrictions on women.
