Research Aspects

Abstract

The aim of this article is to explore whether this situation still prevails more than twenty years after the country went through the experience of Soviet occupation (1979-1988), which had a clear tendency to secularise the legal system, the time of re-establishment of the Islamic system during the rule of the MujahidTn, the civil war (1988-1994) and the Taliban who tried to impose their strict interpretation of Islamic law on the country (1994-2001).
