Taliban have recently lashed a girl in northwestern province of Badghis for defying a forced marriage.
The incident has happened a month ago in Bala Murghab district of Badghis province.
The girl was lashed in public for refusing to marry an old man.
The lash order has reportedly been issued by a Pakistani Taliban commander in the province.
Meanwhile, head of the clerics council in the western region, Maulawi Khudadad Saleh, described the beating as inhumane, adding that such acts are deliberately committed to damage Islam.
"This is unacceptable and totally against Islam," said Maulawi Khudadad Saleh.
Reports suggested that the girl was lashed in Mungan village in Bala Murghab district of the province around one month ago.
A videotape obtained by TOLO news shows a Taliban man lashing a girl while she is lying on the ground with her feet and hands being tightly held by two other Taliban men.
She is being lashed hardly while screaming with pain before the eyes of locals.
Some locals said a Pakistani Taliban fighter had ordered the summary punishment.
Nobody has been detained in connection with the incident.
Badghis governor said he was unaware of what had happened.
Remote areas that are under Taliban control have been the scene of such punishments.
Previously the Taliban had stoned a couple to death on charges of marrying each other without the consent of their families
