Taliban vows to ensure women's rights under Islamic law. What does that mean?

In his first news conference after the Taliban's seizure of Kabul, the group's chief spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said repeatedly that the group would respect women's rights, "within the framework of Islamic law."

What does that mean? Islamic or Sharia law is based on the Muslim holy book, the Quran, and on rulings by Islamic scholars around the world. It acts as a code of conduct in all areas of life for Muslims, governing everything from business to daily routines and personal beliefs and practices.
