The main objective of study is to assess the existing laws about equal protection of women in Afghanistan and propose a feasible solution towards addressing this issue. reality indicates that although matrimonial rights of women in Afghanistan are provided under Civil code, still they are subject to detrimental traditional marriages. The main reasons are: women's inability to access on legal proceedings, the negative traditional and cultural views on women's rights, the absence of an accountable and transparent government, and the lack of an efficient judicial system. It sought to analyze the practices and rights surrounding marriage, dower (mahar), polygamy, and divorce. Hence, this research is crucial in finding a solution to the matrimonial problems of women in Afghanistan and also to examine how Afghanistan courts handle and decided matrimonial cases associated with women.
