According to them, younger detainees are forced into marriage with Taliban members and are told that their &#8220;religious duty in the Islamic Emirate is to engage in Jihad Nikah.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Additionally, women who resist are subjected to fabricated charges, psychological and physical torture, and even beatings. Reports suggest that psychological torture has led some women to commit suicide after their release.
