Sheikh Hibatullah Akhundzada, the leader of the Islamic Emirate, said in Article Five of a decree issued in 2021 that a woman has the right to a fixed share (Ashab-ul-Furud) and a residual share (Al-Asabat) of the inheritance of her deceased husband, children, father, and other relatives. No one can deprive her of this right.
Panjshir, with its high mountains, deep valleys, and fast-flowing rivers, is known for its natural beauty but is also one of the most vulnerable provinces in Afghanistan to natural disasters. In recent years, some residents of the province have repeatedly complained of flash floods, rockfalls, landslides, and avalanches. In some cases, these events have seriously damaged farmland, bridges and culverts, water diversion structures, hydropower facilities, markets, and people’s homes.
