Mohammad Khalid Hanafi, the Minister of Enjoining the Good and Forbidding the Evil, has stated that those who force women into marriage or carry out forced marriages will be held accountable, Daryo correspondent reports from Afghanistan.
Hanafi has instructed officials in the provinces to take action against such perpetrators and has asked subordinate officials to act against those who fail to provide dowries and women's inheritance.
As a member of the Taliban cabinet, he has advised authorities to prohibit women from being married against their will and to ensure that their rights are not violated.
