The Taliban has formally legalized slavery under its interpretation of Islamic law, the Crossmap website reports today (Feb. 3, 2026).
The development is part of a broader tightening of extremist policies since the group regained control of Afghanistan.
The Taliban has codified rules that permit the taking of slaves under certain conditions, based on the strict interpretation of Sharia.
Women and girls are especially vulnerable, as the regime continues to impose severe restrictions on female education, employment, and movement.
Human rights groups warn that this move could increase trafficking, forced marriages, and sexual exploitation.
International observers say Taliban's actions violate global human rights norms and further isolate Afghanistan from the international community.
