The document was signed between the two on September 30, 2014, in Kabul providing the United States forces the legitimacy to stay in Afghanistan beyond 2014 and have some bases in Afghanistan and in return play an advisory role to the Afghan forces and raise their capacity.

people, especially Ulema and tribal elders. That is why all the reforms brought by the
Afghan government have never been acceptable to them. Afghans live their life according
to their traditions and customs and do not accept any other law contrary to these customs
and traditions. Rulers who have tried to force the reforms over the Afghan society are being
overthrown or exiled from the country.
Afghanistan’s 99% population is Muslim but they even don’t follow the teachings
regarding the honor killings as prescribed in Quran, Ahadith and fiqh. They follow their
own customs and traditions of honor (namus), Respect (izzat) and Shame (sharam). They
follow the Pashtun code of conduct (Pushtunwali) during peace and war times. That is the
only acceptable code to all the Pashtuns.
Women face violence at their homes as well as when they report their cases to the police.
Police hand them back over to their families which either leads to their killing or facing
more violence than ever before. Only Ulema and tribal elders can play a positive role in
such circumstances when tribal structures are so strong that no government can challenge
any of them. Ulema and tribal elders considering it as their Islamic duty make their nation
aware of the Islamic principles and avoid people from violence against women including
honor killings.
Violence against women does not only harm the women but it has a long lasting impact on
the society. Young generations are learning from the old generation. They inherit this
violence, which deprive a woman from enjoying her rights according to sharia.
