Afghanistan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi on Sunday contradicted the unpopular opinion on the education ban in the ultraconservative nation.

Muttaqi said that his country has women students currently pursuing education in schools.
“There is no doubt that Aghanistan has relations with Ulema Madaris and with Deoband perhaps greater than others. With regards to education, at present we have 10 million students attending schools and other educational institutes, of which, 2.8 million are women and girls,” he said while addressing reporters at a press conference held at the Afghan embassy in New Delhi.
He, however, acknowledged that there are certain limitations in some areas but education for women is not declared ‘haram’ (religiously profane) yet.
