According to the local officials, the incident took place in the remote and restive district of Wardoj.
The district administrative chief Dawlat Mohammad Khawar confirmed the incident and said the woman was stoned to death after she faced a trial openly along with the man from the Taliban insurgents.
This is not the first time the Taliban insurgents have public tried and executed women over adultery and other charges in Badakhshan.
