“An even greater threat to the existing Afghan constitution has now
appeared in President Karzai’s tacit endorsement this week of the
Ulema Council (religious scholars) recommendations that Afghan society
incorporate a stricter “code of conduct,” which includes segregation
of men and women at work and school, travel restrictions for women and
support for wife beatings based on a husband providing
“Shariah-compliant reason.” If applied as such, these recommendations
would surely result in a constitutional crisis and be seen by many as
political inducement to the Taliban under the aegis of
reconciliation.”
