Back in April of this year, I reported on the passing of draconian marital laws in Afghanistan, by President Hamid Karzai.
I am happy to say the leaders of Afghanistan listened to the national hue and cry over the passing of such laws, and have since reformed the marriage laws.
Is it perfect? By no means. Is it better than it was? Yes. Does Afghanistan, and for that matter nearly all Islamic nations, have a long ways to go before achieving equality and respect between men and women? Good God yes.
But remember, every change must begin with a single first step.
