The Less Attractive Face Of Traddition

could not look less welcoming than in recent updates
by The Taliban in  Afghan marriage laws, that in the process
give men, and the groom's family, even more power
over who they can choose to marry than they had before.
And give women even less choice when they are chosen
 in arranged marraiges than they have had in all previous
Taliban-legislated marriage rules, designed to make women
invisible in an already severly imbabanced male-led society.
