I was waiting in a doctor's office yesterday and the latest Time issue caught my eye. I recommend reading the article - it gives a good narrative of the status of women when the Taliban is in charge. This 18-year-old girl ran away from her husband, claiming that he beat her, and his family abused her badly. The Taliban dragged her from where she was hiding, had a summary court session out in the woods, decided she needed to be made an example, and held her down while her husband and his brother cut off her ears and her nose, and left her for dead.
