According to the laws of Afghanistan, women in this country can be prosecuted for so-called "moral crimes". To those may include anything, including running away from home, refusing to marry, marriage without the formal consent of a parent or attempted infidelity to her husband. In the worst case of "treason" threatened with imprisonment for many years on a murder charge, usually a woman has no relation to the crime, and murder committed by another person.
