Woman, in Collaboration with Ex Boyfriend, Murders Husband in Nangarhar

Published 19/10/2024

RASC News Agency: Local sources in Nangarhar report that a woman in the provincial capital has killed her husband, with her former boyfriend accused of assisting in the murder. According to sources, the incident occurred last night Friday, October 18, in the Nazarabad area of the 17th district. The victim, identified as Popal, was 18 years old and had married a young woman just two weeks prior. The source revealed that Popal was stabbed to death by his wife and her former boyfriend. Another source indicated that the motive behind the murder was domestic violence, as the wife had been forced into the marriage without her consent.

 

Siddiqullah Qureshi, the Taliban’s head of information and culture in Nangarhar, confirmed the killing and reported the arrest of both the woman and her former boyfriend. Qureshi stated that the woman, Popal’s wife, had previously been in a relationship with the other man. Both suspects have reportedly confessed to the crime during interrogation. This incident underscores the devastating consequences of forced marriages and domestic violence, which continue to plague Afghanistani society. Women and girls are frequently the victims of such violence.

 

Since the Taliban’s return to power, the prevalence of forced marriages has surged. Poverty and unemployment, which have become more widespread under the Taliban regime, have driven many families to coerce their daughters into marriage, often condemning them to lives of hardship and abuse. Many citizens hold the Taliban responsible for the severe economic downturn that has led to rising suicides and forced marriages. Prior to their rule, many families enjoyed greater economic stability, but the regime’s takeover has plunged countless households into poverty and despair.

 

As a result, increasing numbers of Afghanistani citizens have been forced to flee their homeland, seeking refuge in foreign countries as economic migrants.
