The latest decree from Afghanistan’s rulers makes it impossible for women and girls to leave unwanted or abusive relationships, even with family support
They did do that to some successes like the (very small) Female Tactical Platoon but it was very hard to meet the targets when it’s going directly against the grain of the traditional culture so they had to keep revising them down. In joining they would suffer consistent sexual harassment (which they had no means to report and wasn’t investigated even in a case with video proof released to the public) and be looked down on by the community, they would often be set to make tea and clean whatever their job actually was, no clear paths of advancement and little to no mentors who had paved the way before them, and they were on the Taliban’s kill on sight list. So you had to be in a pretty desperate situation to consider it.

The women soldiers would have been put in all female units commanded by NATO officers.
