Swara Bhasker Slams Taliban's Domestic Violence Law, Calls Them 'Absolute Monsters'
•Taliban formalizes new penal code effectively permitting domestic violence, sparking international outrage.
•Actor Swara Bhasker vehemently condemns the law, calling the Taliban "absolute monsters" and an "insult to humanity."
•The 90-page code, signed by Hibatullah Akhundzada, allows husbands to physically discipline wives and children without broken bones or open wounds.
•Human rights advocates argue the language effectively legalizes domestic violence, with minimal punishment only for "obscene force."
•Women must appear in court fully covered, accompanied by a male guardian, even when the husband is accused, and face prison for visiting relatives without permission.
