By the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, women writers increasingly articulated a direct critique of marriage. Mary Astell’s Some Reflections upon Marriage (1700) questioned why women were expected to submit to husbands and argued that women were often pushed into marriage without meaningful freedom of choice.

Mary Wollstonecraft, John Stuart Mill and Harriet Taylor, Emma Goldman, and later Simone de Beauvoir all challenged different aspects of marriage: women’s legal dependency, unpaid domestic labor, sexual double standards, economic vulnerability, and the treatment of marriage as women’s primary destiny. Feminist objections have historically focused on the fact that marriage was not simply a private romance but also a legal and economic institution in which women often had fewer rights.

Between 6 and 8 June, at least 30 women were arrested in Herat for wearing “improper hijab”. Days later, the de facto Ministry of Hajj and Religious Affairs announced that “observing hijab” would be the topic of the sermon on 19 June.

Imams received a 10-page document explaining that a hijab should cover the entire body except the eyes, be loose and thick and contain no adornments or fragrance.

During the reporting period, shops and health clinics were instructed not to allow women to enter without a male guardian, or mahram.

In April, the authorities issued a new Code on Judicial Separation of Spouses, which makes a woman’s marriage dependent on her guardian’s permission.
