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

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.

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.

But when looking at other religions as well as Islam, such as Catholicism you can see that when a religion tells it's followers and leaders to repress natural sexual desires it ends in those desires coming out in far more perverse ways than it perhaps would have had the religion allowed it's followers to go with the natural urges that their god supposedly himself gave them.

If religions got over trying to control and instil fear for perfectly natural sexual attractions and responses between sexes we would have far less issues of Catholic priests fiddling little boys and these Muslims dressing up boys as girls then getting their way with them. It's pretty simple.
