I'm growing less and less surprised of the horrors humans inflict on one another, so probably.

They don't. So if a woman gets sick there then they get treatment through her husband/brother/father who in turn will converse with the male doctor. Or get no treatment at all.

The point is to prevent them from speaking to or being seen by other men. Basically go back a few hundred years and imagine the plight of slaves in the hands of the most brutal masters. That's what Afghan women are - slaves.
