Women in Afghanistan are no longer allowed to fly without a male companion.
The Taliban have instructed airlines in the country to stop selling tickets to unaccompanied women, according to a document obtained by the German Press Agency.
The Taliban made the decision on Thursday at a border police meeting at Kabul Airport.
Two employees of an airline confirmed the authenticity of the document.
Since returning to power in mid-August 2021, the Taliban have imposed increasingly strict regulations on women.
Women should not be allowed to travel more than 45 miles (about 72 kilometers) without a male companion.
In many cases, women cannot go back to their jobs.
Girls are not allowed to go to school from the 7th grade.
During the first Taliban rule from 1996 to 2001, women and girls were almost completely excluded from education and work outside the home.
Western countries make recognition of the Taliban government dependent, among other things, on progress in women's rights.
