This is absolutely insane. I verified every claims and it’s all true
In early 2026, the Taliban’s Supreme Leader signed into law the Taliban’s new “Criminal Procedure Code for Courts”
These new laws officially made women property and slaves (this is real, the code says this)
“In January, 2026, the Taliban enacted their new criminal procedure for courts. It makes women slaves. Women are considered property of men by law. Men are now their slave masters, and husbands can administer whatever punishment they would like for the women that they own. Beatings, rape, torture with minimal consequences.
Actually, men's consequences are capped at 15 days imprisonment. Meanwhile, women can go to prison for visiting family without their husband's permission.
— Women can't socialize. Women can't speak in public. The Taliban confirmed that women cannot receive an education. They cannot be seen by doctors. Farm animals quite literally have more rights than women in Afghanistan.
This code also formalizes a caste system. The courts acknowledge four social classes. We have religious scholars, elites, middle class, and lower class. And depending on what class you are in, the punishment for the same crime varies.”
“Here is what I would like the western world to take from this one. Genuine gratitude and appreciation for our freedoms, because our freedoms are not free. Two, an understanding that there are men in the Islamic world with a population that exceeds the population of the United States that would like to enforce this for women in America, in the western world.”
More information:
This 119-article code formalizes severe restrictions on women, normalizes certain forms of violence, references slavery-like hierarchies, and creates unequal punishments based on social/religious status.
Women treated as property/“slaves” of men/husbands as “slave masters”: The code uses terms like “slave” (ghulam) and “master,” equating women to a lower/enslaved status in some provisions. Husbands (or “masters”) are granted authority to administer discretionary punishments (ta’zir), including beatings, with limited legal consequences. It normalizes husbands punishing wives, often without severe penalties unless extreme injury occurs.
Punishments for men limited (e.g., 15 days imprisonment): Husbands face only up to 15 days in jail for severe beatings (breaking a bone or causing visible bruising/open wounds), and only if proven in court. Lesser violence often goes unpunished or is treated as permissible “discipline.” In contrast, mistreating animals (a camel) can carry harsher penalties like months in jail.
