The situation is particularly striking given the current social and political climate in Afghanistan, where women's rights and visibility have been severely curtailed since the Taliban's takeover. The regime's stringent rules and restrictions have effectively erased women from public life, making their absence from public gatherings and events the norm.

While some have expressed joy and congratulations for the cricketer's marriage, others have voiced concern and disappointment at the lack of representation and visibility of women in the celebrations.
