The insurgents also banned smoking, he added, and warned that anybody violating the rules ‘will be seriously dealt with’. A statement purporting to come from the Taliban, circulated on social media this week, ordered villagers to marry off their daughters and widows to the movement’s foot soldiers.
“All imams and mullahs in captured areas should provide the Taliban with a list of girls above 15 and widows under 45 to be married to Taliban fighters,” said the letter, issued in the name of the Taliban’s cultural commission. The Taliban are making huge advances across the country as they capitalize on the final withdrawal of foreign troops — capturing districts, seizing key border crossings, and encircling provincial capitals.
