The Taliban has formally legitimized child marriages under a twisted new family law decree that sets out rules for marriages involving minors — treating the girls as sellable property.

It also establishes specific guidelines governing “virgin girls,” reported Afghan outlet Amu TV.

Approved by Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, the 31-article regulation — titled “Principles of Separation Between Spouses” — was published in the regime’s official gazette in mid-May.

In Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, girls can effectively be sold before they are even old enough to walk.
