Your question is too broad to answer in this forum. However, the following law that was passed in 2014 will give you an idea of the lack of legal rights and protection for women in Afghanistan. Honor killings, forced marriages, sale to pay family debts and life threatening beatings remain the experience of most women. They are tragically vulnerable in a society that at its core hates and devalues women.

A recent change in Afghan law allows men to attack their wives, children and sisters with no fear of recrimination either legal or social. The law prohibits relatives of an accused man from testifying against him. Since most women are kept virtually as prisoners within their families they have no hope of any protection from domestic violence.
