They say they'll protect human rights but according to “Islamic values” that are interpreted differently across the Muslim world.
Days after the Taliban captured a remote district in Afghanistan's north, they issued their first orders in the form of a letter to the local imam.
“It said women can't go to the bazaar without a male companion, and men should not shave their beards,” said Sefatullah, 25, a resident of Kalafgan district.
The insurgents also banned smoking, he added, and warned that anybody violating the rules “will be seriously dealt with”.
In some areas, they are again introducing the harsh interpretation of Islamic rule that earned them notoriety until being overthrown by the US-led invasion that followed the September 11 attacks.
Women were ordered to stay indoors unless accompanied by a male relative, girls were banned from school, and those found guilty of crimes such as adultery were stoned to death.
Men had relatively more freedom but were ordered not to shave, would be beaten if they didn't attend prayers, and were told to only wear traditional clothing.
A statement purporting to come from the Taliban, circulated on social media this week, ordered villagers to marry off their daughters and widows to the movement's foot soldiers.
“All imams and mullahs in captured areas should provide the Taliban with a list of girls above 15 and widows under 45 to be married to Taliban fighters,” said the letter, issued in the name of the Taliban's cultural commission.
Keen to project a softer image this time around, they have denied issuing any such statement and dismissed it as propaganda.

This is going to totally suck for the kids that have no clue about Taliban Tyranny.
No smoking?
That is shocking. Seems like most muslim cultures have big smokers
Maybe Commie Harris can send her daughter there.
...and apparently no bathing.
She looks like a smoker - of pot
Stepdaughter, right? Emhoff’s spawn?
Joe Biden has a message for all the Male Americans trapped behind enemy lines: “Stop shaving, and good luck”
What if the Taliban fighter is homo... uh..nevermind.
Of course the Americans who got to stay behind will be treated with kindness and dignity. They will be allowed to have hot dogs and a McDonald’s will be opened right next to their luxury apartments. (Which are right next to the new Church complex being built). TV will be piped in to them, with the latest reruns of Big Bang Theory and Ellen DeGeneres. And it’s all thanks to your wonderful president, joseph robesbinette biden! All bow down now.
I was ready to join the Taliban until I heard no smoking.
...and a goat in every driveway.
Yes.
Ahhh, the good ‘ol days.
Just like the libtard mask nazis.
The mantra I heard from a number of Afghan men during almost three years in that shithole was, “Men are for fun, women are for having babies.” It was always said with laughter but I sensed it was true to those troglodytes. Given opportunity, these guys will plug anything that moves - women will not give it up there, except (if you’re very, very lucky) their anuses before being married.
those mobile health units need to implant IUD’s in those women. Or Norplant in their arms.
Yep. The past 20 years, a whole generation has grown up there without the Taliban in control. Now that generation’s whole world is crumbling down within a few days.
Even the women can’t shave? That’s awful.
