Fucking taliban.

I hadn't heard of the term Awrah before and googled a little. Guess it depends on whom you ask:

https://aboutislam.net/counseling/ask-the-scholar/women-issues/is-womens-voice-considered-an-awrah/

It's still unfathomable to me that this is even a question that needs to be considered... But then again I don't deal well with religion in general.

2025 is going to add this to the addendum

Where are the ML to condemn this? Oh, they don’t care

Still better than us rule. More importantly MLs are against this like were against all far right authoritarian religious nonsense. This is no different than the median US policy.
