Afghanistan's Taliban rulers have blocked young women from taking college entrance exams for a wide range of subjects, with one student saying the Islamic extremist group has deemed many topics 'too difficult for women to handle.'
"The result of this exam is not important for me," Maryam said."I'm glad this exam is over, which shows our resilience, and I will wait and try next year."
Most of the women who participated in the recent university exams graduated from high school before the Taliban's takeover 14 months ago.Despite all the backsliding on women's rights, the Taliban's supreme leader apparently still isn't content with the imposition of the group's draconian interpretation of Islamic Shariah law.
The edict focused largely on the Taliban's requirement for women and older girls to wear the hijab in public, covering their hair and bodies. In it, Akhundzada offered the advice that,"not leaving home unnecessarily is the best way to observe hijab."
