MAZAR-E-SHARIF, AFGHANISTAN - OCTOBER 22: Shafiqa, 38 sits along side other prisoners inside the women's prison October 22, 2010 in Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan. She is in prison for running away from home. According to Afghanistan's Ministry for Women and the Independent Human Rights Commission, many of the females that are incarcerated are being detained for 'moral crimes'. These so-called crimes include everything from running away from home, refusing to marry, marriage without proper family consent and attempted adultery. In the worst cases women are put away for many years, accused of murder when usually another person has actually commmited the crime. With the courts at many times refering to Islamic Sharia law, the court system in Afghanistan can be easily adapted to work against, in what many critics of Afghan law see, as the rights of Afghan women.
