“Most of our people turn their cases over to the #Taliban or tribal elders,” she noted. “[But] the Taliban always rules against women or talks about stoning and lashing [them]."https://gandhara.rferl.org/a/taliban-courts-ghor-justice-afghanistan/31000489.html …

There is stoning and lashing in some places ... and elsewhere they crackdown on baad. So it's really unclear to me, b/c (a) we don't have a systematic picture of how things work and (b) there's no dialogue with the TB on this (i.e., when do you permit lashing, stoning, etc)
And I'm not condoning these practices by any means. But what I would say is that the Taliban need to be transparent and held accountable: what is the justice system you want, how are you justifying that, how does it align with human rts norms in place since 2001, etc.

(B/c even if its Hanafi shariah they want, as they claim, a lot of practices we hear about with regard to women don't align with those norms, which would give women greater recourse and power in the courts)

Articles like this are vital b/c they show how many women like Nasima are caught between several systems which subject them to hell: state, TB, customary If the Taliban want to govern, they need to articulate how they will uphold the 'Islamic women's rights' they claim to value

Your expectations are so high from the taliban on transparency and I really do not know who is really going to hold them accountable? The afghan gov who is really bad at transparency itself or the American gov who would do anything for the talibs to make her deal a success story?
-
Yeah, agreed. I don't know who can hold them accountable. But at the very least the US, western donors could push them a lot harder on these issues, for example, as they claim to care about human rights. (But maybe that's just naive...)
