Taliban's supreme leader issued a decree on marriage and widows' rights, stating 'no one can force women to marry by coercion or pressure'.

Akhundzada has maintained a very low public profile since becoming supreme leader in 2016, after his predecessor was killed in a US drone strike

"The Islamic Emirate's leadership directs all relevant organisations... to take serious action to enforce Women's Rights," the decree states, quoting elusive supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada. Respect for women's rights has repeatedly been cited by key global donors as a condition for restoring aid.
