This I don't know. What I saw yesterday evening was very interesting for me. It could be that what you describe is coming out from the culture. I would say that what you have in Afghanistan...perhaps not so strongly, because you have the domination of the Taliban and so on. They have the same culture. They have the same religious background...and it could be that also.
I have here, from Amnesty International, their report on violence against women and girls. Women continue to be victims of honour killings, I would like to mention, with 960 incidents reported. In September the Punjab law minister announced that crimes against women would be tried under the anti-terrorism act. Taliban groups closed or burned down girls schools, forced women to wear a veil, and prohibited them from leaving their homes unless accompanied by male relatives. Several women were punished, shot dead, or mutilated for alleged immoral activities.
This is coming from the religious ones in the country. The problem is that they will not change their culture.
