A young woman was reportedly killed by her former husband in Miramor district of central Afghanistan’s Daikundi province, according to local sources.
A local source told KabulNow that the incident occurred on the morning of Monday, August 24, in the Iskan area of Miramor district.
The victim was identified as Shakila, approximately 25 years old. Her former husband, identified as Rahmat, around 35, has reportedly been named as the main suspect in the killing.
Details surrounding the motive for the incident remain unclear, and there has been no further information regarding whether the suspect has been arrested or whether authorities have launched a formal investigation.
The reported killing has once again highlighted concerns over violence against women in Afghanistan, where women and girls continue to face significant social, legal and security challenges.
Local sources have provided details of the incident, but the allegations have not been independently verified. Further information about the circumstances leading to Shakila’s death and the status of the alleged suspect is awaited.
The incident comes amid continued reports of violence against women across Afghanistan, raising concerns about protection mechanisms and access to justice for victims.
