The women went to the bazaar in Pul-e-Khumri to shop and were then questioned by Taliban members for not having a Mahram. When they were convinced that they did not have a Mahram, they flogged the women in public and warned them not to come out their homes without a Mahram.

And arbitrarily hold field courts for them and flog them.
