Taliban in Afghanistan forbids females from hearing other females

So bizarre i cannot fathom its impetus. So, women may no longer talk to one another? Just about total control of women now.

Taliban forbids women from ‘hearing each others voices’ - Observer Diplomat


In a disturbing escalation of gender-based restrictions in Afghanistan, the Taliban regime has imposed a new ban preventing women from “hearing voices” of other women, marking yet another assault on fundamental human rights. The announcement came through a voice message from Khalid Hanafi, the country’s minister for the promotion of virtue and prevention of vice, highlighting the regime’s continued push toward increasingly extreme interpretations of Islamic law.

Latest Restrictions on Women’s Basic Rights
The Taliban’s latest edict, delivered via an audio recording due to the regime’s ban on showing living beings on television, has left many questions about its precise implementation. The minister’s rambling message included the peculiar specification that “even when an adult female prays and another female passes by, she must not pray loudly enough for them to hear.” This restriction extends beyond prayer, effectively creating a barrier to basic communication between women in public spaces.
