Implementation of Disciplinary Punishment on Two Accused Individuals in Samangan Province

In accordance with the decision of the Primary Court of Ruyi Du Ab District, Samangan Province, disciplinary punishments were enforced on two individuals, including one woman, accused of committing adultery. The punishments were carried out on 03/12/1446 AH.

The Primary Court had sentenced the accused to 39 lashes each as a disciplinary penalty. This ruling was executed after confirmation by the esteemed Supreme Court. The punishment was implemented in the presence of officials from the Police Command, the Departments of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, Complaints, Enforcement and Monitoring of Orders and Decrees, and other Emirate institutions.

This case illustrates the standardized enforcement of moral-conduct regulation through corporal punishment within the Taliban judicial system, including against women. The confirmation of district-level sentencing by the Supreme Court, combined with the presence of enforcement bodies such as the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, reflects the integration of judicial and moral-policing functions. The case contributes to a broader pattern in which disciplinary flogging is normalized as an administrative tool of social control rather than an exceptional judicial measure.
