Local sources in Helmand province reported that a woman was killed in this province after she sought her deceased husband’s inheritance from her brother-in-law.
Sources confirmed on Wednesday that the widow was shot and killed by her brother-in-law in the Larkan area of Kajaki district in Helmand province, insisting on her husband’s rights.
This comes on the heels of a recent incident in the city of Faizabad, Badakhshan province, where a man killed his wife with an adze.
Since the Taliban regained control of the country there has been a significant rise in the rates of suicide and homicide among women and girls, and the absence of women’s rights organizations has resulted in a lack of thorough investigations into such cases.
