Law of Afghanistan

Religious Law Systems

The law of Afghanistan is uncodified sharia, interpreted according to the Hanafi school of Islamic jurisprudence. Since returning to power, the ruling Taliban administration has enforced a strict Hanafi-only application of this law, setting aside the codified statutes and rights protections that existed under Afghanistan's prior constitutional governments.
