Local sources from Chah-Ab district of Takhar province reported to Afghanistan International that 17-year-old Hasna was killed at her husband's house less than a week after her marriage. According to locals, Hasna's husband had accused her of "not being a virgin".
So far, the Taliban has not commented on the incident and no detailed information about the perpetrator of the murder has been published.
According to locals, one of Hasna's brothers-in-law, Yaqoob, was also killed during a "family dispute”.
Locals said that the Taliban had arrested Hasna's uncle, Bismillah, on charges of murder, but Bismillah denied involvement in the murder.
Haji Darwish, Hosna's father-in-law, has also been accused of shooting during the family dispute that led to the murder of his son Yaqoob and his daughter-in-law.
Previously, in Afghanistan and the tribal areas, claims about the girl “not being a virgin” have led to catastrophic consequences such as femicide. Experts say that women suffer from anxiety and worry due to these issues.
The virginity of a woman has been a controversial topic and concern for many societies for centuries.
