RASC News Agency: The consistent message from the Ministry of Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice of the Taliban group in Faryab province underscores the significance of adhering to Islamic Sharia during wedding ceremonies. According to a recent statement released on November 4th, representatives of the Taliban visited six wedding halls in the province and reaffirmed the prohibition of playing music during these gatherings.
This directive aligns with previous orders issued by the Taliban group in various provinces, urging owners of wedding halls to abstain from playing music.
The Ministry’s statement also shed light on other measures undertaken by the Taliban group to enforce their interpretation of Islamic principles. In Kabul province, for example, the group disseminated a newsletter instructing drivers to avoid listening to music in their vehicles and refrain from giving rides to women who are not wearing veils. These directives reflect the group’s endeavors to impose their beliefs on the public, as they have established checkpoints to ensure compliance with the orders of Mullah Hebatullah Akhundzada, the Taliban group’s leader.
Reports from various provinces indicate that the Taliban group has not only issued orders but has also taken more aggressive actions. Instances have been recorded where the group attacked wedding halls and apprehended the owners of these ceremonies.
These actions, coupled with their intrusion into people’s privacy and harassment based on information, have raised concerns about the Taliban’s approach to governance and its impact on the daily lives of the Afghanistani people.
Moreover, Taliban representatives have been observed delivering religious sermons to shopkeepers in different cities, indicating their efforts to exert influence and propagate their interpretation of Islam among the local population. These actions, combined with the enforcement of strict rules and regulations, underscore the expanding presence and influence of the Taliban group in various provinces of the country.
