Why Afghanistan’s Family Shia Status law must be changed

Salam and greeting to all readers!
I think we are taking this law out of context. I am not too aware of this law passed on Shiate women in Afghanistan, however if this law is from our Prophet and our Imams than i do not disagree with it. When it says that women cannot leave home without permission of her husband it is true in islam, However the husband are not cruel to do that unless there is reason for it. on the other hand if a women is not happy with the man married. She can always ask for Talaq which will free her from the husband she does not like. I think we need to have a holistic view on this law rather than looking at from only one angle.
Islam is the only religion that gives women the most complete right. If we are not practising, it is completely a different matter.
In conclusin I encourage miss Zareen on her effort and wish her to do more research and better her opinion on this issue.
