Taliban to 'temporarily' adopt monarchy constitution granting women voting rights with riders

The Taliban said that the Islamic Emirate would adopt the constitution of the former King Mohammad Zahir Shah's time for a temporary period, and eliminate any elements they disagree with. 

The Taliban said on Tuesday they will temporarily adopt a 1964 constitution that granted women the right to vote but eliminate any elements they disagree with.

The Taliban's acting justice minister issued a statement saying the Islamists planned to introduce a constitution used during Afghanistan's short-lived golden age of democracy, but only briefly and with amendments.
