Afghan singer Zulala, 25, has gone missing amid fears for her life and welfare in a country where music is banned by the Taliban-led government. Her husband, Sadat, claims she was forced to leave due to domestic violence allegations made by the Taliban police, but he denies these claims, stating they had a happy love marriage. Zulala rose to fame after participating in Afghan Star, an Afghan version of American Idol, where she became the first female singer to finish in the top two and gained millions of fans before music was outlawed in 2021.
