The Taliban have banned windows that look onto areas where Afghan women could be seen inside their homes.
"Seeing women working in kitchens, in courtyards or collecting water from wells can lead to obscene acts," government spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid posted on X on Saturday.
A decree by the Taliban's supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada states that new buildings should not have windows that show "the courtyard, kitchen, neighbor's well and other places usually used by women," according to a translation by France24.
Existing windows looking into such areas should be blocked with a wall or should have their views obstructed in some other way "to avoid nuisances caused to neighbors."
