Supreme Leader Approves Taliban's Strict Laws

Taliban's 90-page penal code signed by Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada permits men to punish wives and children for injuries excluding broken bones or open wounds.
Code reverses protections from the 2009 Every Woman's Right to Work law, approved by Supreme Leader.
Offenders face up to 15 days in prison for serious injuries, wives must prove abuse to judges with male guardians, and married women risk three months for unapproved family visits.
