According to it is to be punished with 10,000 Afghani (around 115 euros), who looks at a woman longer than 14 seconds.
Although the Women’s Ministry said Wednesday that it was just rumors, but there was no stopping the general laughter.
Women should now always have a stopwatch with them, a user posted on the social network Facebook. Others shared a video of a man hiding around the corner with a large wall clock in his hand. Another man asks him what he is doing. The man with the watch answers, „I look at my love, but I have to be careful that it’s only 13 seconds, because 10,000 Afghani does not even have my dad.“
The proposal and the jokes about it are the funniest that has happened in Afghanistan in the past 20 years, said a resident of Kabul.
Other users do not want to bow to allegations about anything in the world – they would watch women for as long as they want, even if they’re getting a million-dollar fine. Some men also had the following suggestion: „Wear sunglasses.“
However, it is unclear where the idea came from. The Afghan Ministry of Women’s Affairs stated that the reports on the bill were untrue.
Sexual harassment, such as offensive gestures, utterances and physical approaches, as well as unwanted touch, are commonplace in Afghanistan.
