"Local sources in Kabul say that a man attempted to end his life on the airport road in protest against unemployment and poverty, but was rescued by local residents.

Eyewitnesses have stated that the individual identified himself as a graduate of Kabul Engineering Faculty and complained about the lack of employment opportunities and the rejection of his job applications by various institutions.

According to sources, this incident occurred on Tuesday, 29th of Thawr, in the 10th district near the third phase of Arya City.

Witnesses added that before taking action, the man spoke of unemployment, poverty, and "shame before his family," emphasizing that he no longer had the strength to return home.

Based on information from sources, local residents extinguished the fire using water and rescued the individual. It is said that his body suffered severe burns, and after people contacted authorities, he was transferred to Sheikh Zayed Hospital." That was from yesterday

Today he died while in the hospital due to his injuries.

Managed to get a hold of some lamb dumba here in Canada. Decided to make some lamb tikka with it and it was amazing.

Just had a delicious meal (see second pic) at a local Afghan spot and this tea was DELICIOUS. I wanted to buy the blend or mix but language was unfortunately a barrier and ended up with a hot cup to go (which I am currently savoring). Definitely had cardamom, not much mint if any… slightly sweet.

According to this document child marriage is legal and parents can give away their prepubescent children away to those who they see fit. If a 9 year old can hit puberty according to them than anything under 9 is also okay.

The only way to annul the marriage after puberty is if you have witnesses and judge agrees to it which in Afg is never going to happen. Also by closing schools for girls they will marry early and not be aware of their rights and have no independent future.

If there’s a dispute with the husband (e.g., he says she didn’t annul it), and she has no witnesses:

• The husband can swear an oath, and his word may be taken

These same people were making fun of the west for being full of Epsteins but they legalised thousands of them in Afg.

"The document outlines rules governing the dissolution of marriages under a wide range of religious and legal conditions, including child marriage, missing husbands, apostasy, forced separation, breastfeeding relations and accusations of adultery." https://amu.tv/239295/

Taous, a 26-year-old married Hazara woman from Daikundi, says that a man, with "Taliban support," wants to force her into a second marriage and take her as his wife.
She told Afghanistan International that, out of fear of arrest by the Taliban and to escape a forced second marriage, she has resorted to living in hiding.
Taous says that she got engaged in 1399(2020) and married in the month of Miizan 1404 (2025 october). According to her, a few months after the marriage, another man armed with a weapon entered their home and claimed to be her husband.

According to this woman, the Taliban court in the Ashtarlay district of Daikundi province, following a complaint from this man, has arrested three of her relatives.

The Taliban security command in Ashtarlay district imprisoned this woman's father for 24 days, her brother-in-law for 14 days, and her father-in-law for four days. The Taliban judge in Ashtarlay district has confirmed the detention of this woman's relatives.
Local sources in Daikundi said that the man involved in the dispute has connections with the Taliban.
This woman, who is living in hiding, said that the Taliban court has ignored their documents and has not asked the claimant for any evidence to prove his claim.
