I didn't know about that, so I googled it and found this, which is probably what you're talking about:

1. I don't know of any Islamic law which prohibits men from talking to unrelated women.
2. Even if we assume that such a law exists, it still doesn't mean that they have a permission to take little boys as their lovers.
I don't know what these Imams are following. I'm pretty sure it's not in the Quran that women are unclean.

Quote:Sociologists and anthropologists say the problem results from perverse interpretation of Islamic law. Women are simply unapproachable. Afghan men cannot talk to an unrelated woman until after proposing marriage. Before then, they can't even look at a woman, except perhaps her feet. Otherwise she is covered, head to ankle.

Quote:Fundamentalist imams, exaggerating a biblical passage on menstruation, teach that women are "unclean" and therefore distasteful. One married man even asked Cardinalli's team "how his wife could become pregnant," her report said. When that was explained, he "reacted with disgust" and asked, "How could one feel desire to be with a woman, who God has made unclean?"
