Woman's bare legs cause major stir in Kabul

A woman was caught walking on the streets of Kabul, Afghanistan, wearing a mid-length dress that left the better part of her legs bare and visible for all onlookers.

It was indeed a strange sight in this conservative capital, which adheres to the strict dress code of a Muslim country, reports BBC.

The woman's bold action got the entire city talking after she was captured on lens by passers-by walking down the street while defying the dress code.

A local journalist saw the woman and could not believe his eyes. He even tried to halt the woman and have a word with her after taking a picture but she ignored him and walked off.

After the woman's image was posted on social netroking site, it became a hot topic of conversation in Kabul. While some supported the woman's choice of dressing, others claimed that she should stick to the country's customs and not hurt their sentiments.
