Taliban formally recognizes child marriage in Afghanistan with news rules, guidelines
31-Article regulation, title “Principles of separation between husband and wife,” According to Afghan outlet Amu TV, the resolution was approved by Taliban supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada and published in the regime’s official gazette in mid-May.The document outlines rules covering child marriage, missing husbands, forced separation, apostasy, accusations of adultery and other religious and legal matters.One of the most controversial provisions states that the silence of a “virgin girl” after reaching puberty can be interpreted as consent to marriage. The regulation states that the silence of a boy or an already married woman will not automatically count as consent.The decree also addresses “Khiyar al-Bulugh” or “option at puberty”, a concept in Islamic jurisprudence whereby a child married at an early age can seek an annulment after reaching puberty.According to Article 5 of the Regulation, if a relative other than a child’s father or grandfather arranges the marriage of a minor, the marriage may still be considered legally valid if the spouse is considered socially favorable and the dowry is reasonable. The child may later seek annulment, but only through a Taliban court order.Another provision states that marriages involving “non-compatible” spouses or unreasonable dowry will not be considered valid.This regulation gives fathers and grandfathers broad authority over child marriages, although it states that such marriages may be void if the guardians are found to be abusive, mentally unfit, or morally corrupt.The document authorizes Taliban judges to intervene in disputes involving allegations of adultery, religious conversion, prolonged absence of husbands and “zihar”, a classical Islamic concept in which a husband compares his wife to a female relative from whom marriage would be prohibited. Under those provisions, judges can order isolation, imprisonment or punishment in some cases.The latest decree comes amid growing international criticism of the Taliban’s restrictions on women and girls since returning to power in August 2021.Girls in Afghanistan are barred from education beyond the sixth grade, women are banned from universities, and there are severe restrictions on employment, travel, and public participation.Several international organizations have described the Taliban’s policies as a system of “gender discrimination”. According to Girls Not Brides, about a third of Afghan girls are married before the age of 18.Political commentator Fahima Mahomed criticized the Taliban’s new rules, telling the New York Post, “Child marriage is not marriage in any meaningful sense. A child cannot appropriately consent, and treating silence as consent is dangerous because it completely eliminates a girl’s voice.”She added, “As a Muslim, I would also strongly reject the idea that this reflects Islam as a whole. The Quran itself speaks against the coercion and abuse of women, so the Taliban’s position should not be presented as ‘Islamic law’ in the broadest sense.”
FSSAI seeks detailed explanation from e-commerce on how it will help customers
When it comes to eggs, they are often considered a superfood rich in protein and other essential nutrients. And eggs are helpful in many ways, from weight loss to increasing metabolism. And for those unaware, protein is the building block of the human body, helping to build, repair and maintain tissues. It forms the foundation of muscles, skin, hair, and even the enzymes and hormones that control major bodily functions. It acts like fuel that keeps you active and charged throughout the day. And thanks to e-commerce sites, eggs are now available at a click. However, food regulator Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has raised a growing concern, as it has received several complaints over poor quality eggs being sold through e-commerce sites. According to a PTI report, FSSAI has sought clarification from quick-commerce player Blinkit regarding consumer complaints about the sale of poor quality eggs on its platform.
what was the problem
Many consumers have complained about the foul smell and rubbery texture of the eggs, he said, adding that e-commerce companies are also responsible for the quality of products sold on their platforms.
What did FSSAI ask for?
According to PTI, FSSAI has taken ‘suo motu cognizance’ of customer complaints on social media platforms and on Friday wrote to Blink Commerce Pvt Ltd directing it to send a “comprehensive ATR (action taken report)” regarding these complaints within a week. In an advisory dated December 3, 2024, FSSAI had said, “Considering the growth of e-commerce in the food sector, compliance by e-commerce food business operators becomes important to ensure the safety, quality and authenticity of food products sold online.“Any product claim made on an e-commerce platform should be completely aligned with the information on the physical label of the product,” it said.
what’s more?
E-commerce FBOs (Food Business Operators) must have mechanisms in place to ensure that products listed on their platforms are in compliance with the FSS (Labeling and Display) Regulations, 2020. They should not list any food business operator (seller) on their platform without displaying their valid FSSAI license or registration.
How to maintain freshness of eggs?
According to FSSAI, eggs retain their freshness for 10-12 days after laying at room temperature (28±2°C), but at higher temperatures the shelf life will be reduced. The important factor in maintaining freshness of eggs is mainly temperature while humidity also affects it to some extent.It also says that when storing eggs in the refrigerator, placing them in designated shelves or egg cartons is the best way to maintain their freshness.To maintain egg freshness and performance, buy eggs from stores that keep them at cool temperatures or from stores that store them in well-ventilated covered areas that maintain ambient temperature.Consumers should strictly avoid handling eggs roughly and leaving them in hot vehicles or places where temperatures are extremely high. Keep the eggs in the refrigerator when you get home.
How to check egg quality at home
According to FSSAI YouTube video, one can easily test good quality eggs at home. And to do this, all you have to do is take a container filled with water, dip an egg in the container. Now observe the condition of the egg. If the egg is fresh then it will be placed at the bottom according to its width. If the egg is a little old, it will be placed on one end with the bottom down. And if the egg is rotten it will float on the surface. The video further explains that as the age of the egg increases, the air sac inside it becomes larger as water is lost and replaced with air. Thus, an old egg floats.
Importance of eggs in diet
According to experts, eating one egg daily can provide your body with 75-76 calories, 7-8 grams of protein, 5 grams of fat and 1.6 grams of saturated fat along with a lot of nutrients that not only help in building muscles and boosting immunity but also help in the regeneration of cells and tissues. According to experts, with more than 6 grams of protein per egg, it is the perfect choice to meet almost half of the recommended dietary intake for children and almost one-third of the recommended dietary intake for older children.

Megan Thee Stallion Returned to social media this week with plenty of soft energy, business red carpet appearances and public drama for quiet moments at home. The Grammy-winning rapper resurfaced days after her reported split from NBA star Klay Thompson, and gave fans a glimpse of what she called some much-needed “me time” after her surprise exit from the Moulin Rouge! on Broadway.Megan has remained largely silent since rumors swirled about the breakup, especially after reports claimed she accused Thompson of cheating. Rather than addressing the situation directly, she appeared to focus on reconnecting with comfort, routine, and familiar things, which bring her peace. The tone felt personal without being overly sentimental, which prompted more discussion among fans.
Megan Thee Stallion hints at a new start after breakup with Klay Thompson
Speaking to her 32.7 million Instagram followers on May 15, Megan felt comfortable updating fans about life after Broadway.“What are you all doing? This is your girl Megan Thee Stallion aka Hot Girl Coach,” she said before turning the camera toward her pets, joking that she’s finally reunited with her “sons.”The rapper said that stepping away from the limelight has given him a chance to rest and refresh at home. She also opened up about re-watching some of her favorite anime series, which her longtime followers know has always been one of her biggest interests.“So finally, after Broadway, I’m home and ready to spend some time alone,” she shared.Her comments later became more reflective as she explained why she was returning to familiar shows during this chapter of her life.“Right now, in my free time, I’m definitely feeling nostalgic. I feel like I need a little bit of the magic back,” she reflected. “So I think I’ll start watching Black Clover again… I’ll definitely start watching Inuyasha again, because it makes me feel like I’m home.”Without mentioning Thompson directly, the message seemed clear enough. Megan was less interested in revisiting a broken heart and more focused on finding stability again.

If Pakistan continues to provide shelter to terrorists, it will have to decide whether it wants to be a part of geography or history: Army Chief
New Delhi: In a stern message to Islamabad for supporting cross-border terrorism, Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi on Saturday referred to Operation Sindoor launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack and said if “Pakistan continues to harbor terrorists and work against India, they will have to decide whether they want to be a part of geography, history or not”.Speaking at the Army Samvad program here, General Dwivedi appreciated the capabilities of the tech-savvy generation and the Army’s intention to utilize their potential.“Let me first admit that the (tech-savvy) generation is at least 10 times better than ours. They are much more adaptable. They are socially conscious, globally connected, and digitally fluent… The Indian Army is talking about 2026-27 as the year of networking and data centricity. We have started internships and we have received one lakh applications for 100 vacancies.”The Army Chief talked about the rapid change in technology and its impact on military modernisation. He said, “Today, the Army is changing so fast, modernization is happening so fast, and technology becomes obsolete within 18 months. If you have to adopt that kind of technology, how are you doing it? So, the waves of change have to be felt at every level, from a soldier to majors and major generals, to generals like me.”Teaching leadership lessons to the younger generation, General Dwivedi, who is set to retire on June 30, also shared a personal dream: He wants to open a café called ‘Aahista Zindagi’, which will serve as a retreat for the senses in the hectic pace of life.At the same event, Chief of Defense Staff General Anil Chauhan said Operation Sindoor was different from all previous conflicts as it was a kind of multi-domain operation, was largely non-contact warfare, involved new technologies like space and cyber and required a huge amount of coordination not only between the three services but also with other instrumentalities of the government and various agencies. “It was a very well-coordinated operation.…Even the scale of victory was different…Imagine something landing precisely in this room from 300 or 400 km away. This was unprecedented in our geography. So this particular operation was completely different,” he said.On the verge of retirement after more than 45 years of distinguished service, CDS General Chauhan said what he has learned in the last three and a half years is completely different from the earlier leadership. “Because, till now, it was only up to the chiefs, whereas the responsibility of the CDS is a little more than that of the service chiefs, the interaction too, is a little more. So, this is a new thing that we have learned to streamline the system, to get benefits from the system...So, will probably be able to teach new officers, who will hold senior appointments in future,” he said.

First came the coronavirus pandemic, then wars broke out and now the world is facing an energy crisis. This decade is turning into a decade of disasters for the world. We can all see that if these conditions are not changed rapidly, a very large section of the world’s population may once again be pushed into the quagmire of poverty.”“PM: Join India’s journey towards becoming a developed nationHowever, Modi’s speech largely focused on India’s many achievements since taking office 12 years ago, the Indian diaspora and relations between India and the Netherlands.He talked about the huge turnout in recent elections and its boundless aspirations, which are reflected in its aim of hosting the Olympics and becoming a global manufacturing hub. He said, “From that day till today, the trust that crores of Indians have placed in me neither lets me stop nor let me get tired.”India is now a land of opportunities and is both technology-driven and humanity-driven.

I mean, can we… you can let the current flow between us? You must have been real… you know, I want you to fix it… why don’t you fix it? There’s nothing beyond repair. You just have to want to fix it.

The world would be your oyster…”The ‘Bring It On’ actress further added, ‘And then every film of mine started at number one, yet somehow my life became difficult.

There are jokes on the Internet that the clavicular was “put in the mouth” by the judge during a court appearance.
“Mogged” Influential person during the hearing.Word “Mogged” Looksmaxing is popular internet slang used in communities. This usually means that one person appears more dominant, confident, or attractive than the other person. Since Clavicular made its online fame around “luxmaxing,” Many viewers found it ironic that people online believed that the judge pressured him during his court appearance. The clips quickly spread across social media platforms, turning the court moment into a viral meme discussion.
Fans say clavicular was “mogged” by judge during Miami hearing
The court appearance came after Clavicular and fellow influencer Andrew Morales pleaded no contest Friday in connection with an alleged alligator shooting incident in the Florida Everglades. Both men were sentenced to six months’ probation and ordered to complete firearms and wildlife safety courses as well as 20 hours of community service.Soon after the video of the hearing came online, social media users filled the comment sections with jokes. One viral comment read, “You’re laughing? Clavicular was framed by a Miami judge and you’re laughing?!?” Another comment read, “Judgemogging is a thing now.” Another user wrote, “Oh crap, the judge is even hotter than that.”Reactions spread quickly as Clavicular became widely known online for publicity “luxmaxing,” A trend where people try to improve their appearance in extreme ways. Peters has previously spoken out publicly about using unhealthy methods to stay slim, which has made her a controversial figure online.The legal case itself stems from a March incident in the Everglades. Officials said the influencers were seen in a video allegedly shooting at a crocodile from an airboat. Prosecutors later charged him with unlawful possession of a weapon in a public place.In short, although the Miami hearing ended without a trial, the Internet focused less on the legal outcome and more on the unexpected viral joke that the judge made with a clavicle in the courtroom, completely stealing the spotlight.
