Afghan girls of all ages permitted to study in religious schools, says Taliban official

A member of the Taliban government said that Afghan girls of all ages are now permitted to study in religious schools, which were traditionally for boys only. This came a day after UN special envoy Roza Otunbayeva told the Security Council that they were receiving "more and more anecdotal evidence" that girls could study in Islamic schools, also called madrassas.
