Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This article is concerned with a brief overview of several
dimensions of women's status in Pashtun society in eastern Afghanistan. The topics covered
include the difference in Islamic and Pashtun norms regarding the status of women with
respect to marriage and divorce, inheritance and control of property, and participation in
public religious life; the system of purdah, the socialization of girls into purdah, and
variations in purdah according to the socio-economic status of a woman's family; the life
and work of women; the relationship between the newly-married woman and her mother-in-law;
and the extent to which women participate in challenging and perpetuating the norms that
govern their status and behavior, as reflected in the special women's songs known as
landai.
