After the Taliban was overthrown by the U.S and its allies, punishments such as stoning to death, amputations, etc were abolished.
Barely a month after taking over from the Afghan government, the Taliban has decided to reintroduce the out-lawed punishments.
The Taliban strongly believe in its strict interpretation of Islamic law. Those strict Islamic laws were enforced in Afghanistan during the Taliban rule from 1996 to 2001.
Recently, they asked all women to stop going to work and stay at home.
“The main purpose is to serve Islam. Therefore, it is compulsory to have Ministry of Vice and Virtue,” Mohammad Yousuf, who says he is around 32 years old and responsible for the “central zone” of Afghanistan, tells me from inside his Kabul office on Monday. “We will punish as per the Islamic rules. Whatever Islam guides us, we will punish accordingly.”
Actions will be taken on the “major sins of Islam,” such as sexual intercourse outside marriage, killing someone, and theft, he said.
According to Mohammad Yousuf who is responsible for the “central zone” of Afghanistan,
“Islam has its rules for major sins. For example, killing someone has different rules. If you do it intentionally, if you know the person and intentionally kill the person, you will be killed back. If not intentional, then there might be another punishment like paying a certain amount of money.”
“If there is a theft, the hand will be cut off. If there is illegal intercourse, they (those involved) will be stoned.”
