		By Ahmad Hanayesh in Parwan (ARR No.49, 24-Feb-03) One of the darker sides of Afghan society - sex between men and under-age boys - is quietly reemerging in some parts of the country after it was made a capital offence by the Taleban, according to local people in two provinces close to the resources.
		Residents of Parwan and Kapisa provinces just north of Kabul report that it is quite common for local men, particularly military commanders, to take boys as young as 14 to wedding parties and other celebrations, to get them to dance and, in some cases, have sex with them.
