The Taliban in Afghanistan, an Islamic extremist militant group, has ordered a ban on installing windows in residential buildings overlooking neighboring houses, especially those where women live.

According to local media outlet Amu TV, a Taliban government spokesman announced the top leader's instructions on social media.

According to the contents, individuals who build houses cannot install windows facing the courtyard or living space of adjacent buildings where women are located.




If a building is already built, the owner must either build a wall or block the view using an appropriate cover.

The Taliban said "The rules apply retroactively, meaning structures built before the guidelines must also be modified to meet new requirements."

Accordingly, administrative authorities must monitor whether the measures are properly implemented.




In response to the move, the Taliban claimed it was aimed at `protecting privacy and protecting women from potential dangers.'

However, after retaking power after the U.S. withdrawal in 2021, the Taliban imposed numerous restrictions on women, including a ban on education and employment outside the home, prompting widespread condemnation from human rights groups, any TV noted.
