I couldn't find many sources on Afghanistan legislature. If anyone can add more information from scholarly unbiased articles to this section it would be very helpful. Maddythursby4 ( talk) 17:50, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
I am interested in adding to this page! I would like to add information about the current laws, Islam's views, and access to abortions in Afghanistan. Maddythursby4 ( talk) 16:57, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
Currently, this page claims that abortion is allowed until the 12th or 17th week in Islamic Law, but the source they cite for this fact also says that most Muslims would condemn abortion and state that Islam forbids it. Furthermore, the law in Afghanistan does not follow this interpretation at all. I propose to keep some reference to this 120-day limit, but make it clear that this is only one interpretation and not the majority view or the Taliban's view.

There have been a few suspicious edits all around the time of the US Supreme Court decision on abortion ca. 25-28 Jun 2022. There's one from an anonymous IP and two from a user with a suspicious-looking history. Someone with more authority than I do needs to look into it, and someone who knows the topic needs to fact check the article. I referred to this article in a tweet around the time of the anonymous edit, so it seems likely my tweet motivated someone with an agenda to change the page to something in their favour.

I was going to change this, but I cannot think what to change it to, so am posting on the Talk page to request some consultation and discussion.
I have a real problem with the lead sentence: 'Abortion in Afghanistan is affected by the religious constraints from the national religion'. The word "constraints" implies non-Islamic or non-religious societies don't have any - but there's no lead sentence like this on the Abortion in the US article. Discussion of the Islamic jurisprudential aspects belong in the relevant subsection of the article.
IMO, it would be better to specify what "constraints" we are talking about. The passivity of the sentence is also a problem because it detaches from how people understand it and sort of reifies a singular "Islam", rather than how it is understood or interpreted in practice.

The "Religious limitations" section doesn't add anything to the topic of Abortion in Afghanistan. Further, the information within it is far from robust, with limited citations and narrow sources where citations are used.
It would, to me, better better suited to be summarised in a sentence directing readers to the existent wiki article on Islam and abortion. That article has a much more sophisticated explanation on the Islamic positions. Yr Enw ( talk) 12:36, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
