The Ministry of Virtue and Vice said that women's rights in the country were previously violated; however, now all their rights are secured.

Sayed Ali Sadiqullah, deputy of the Ministry of Virtue and Vice, said that since the Islamic Emirate regained control of the country, 90 to 95 percent of immoral acts have been prevented.

The deputy of the ministry cited the banning of Bad Dadan (“giving away a daughter,” which typically involves settling a dispute between families or tribes by marrying off a girl from one family to a man from the other.), which is now prohibited, as an example of past violations of women's rights in the country.

The Deputy Minister of Virtue and Vice added, "The Islamic Emirate has faced many responsibilities in defending the rights of the oppressed and still has the will and determination to stand with the oppressed. In society, women are an oppressed class, and the Islamic Emirate defends their rights. Over time, we will not see immoral acts in the country, but now we see that 90 to 95 percent of immoral acts have been prevented, and reforms have been made in society."

However, some religious scholars told TOLOnews that alongside other rights, women should also be granted the right to work and education.

Abdul Rahman Abed, a religious scholar, said: "In Islam, men and women have the right to life, education, maintenance, and honor, and they are equal in these rights; therefore, all rights for women in the country should be granted."

Officials at the Ministry of Virtue and Vice speak of securing the rights of women and girls while it has been more than two and a half years since schools were closed to girls above the sixth grade.
