What are the rules in Iran regarding Hijab?
Being an Islamic country, Sharia law is fully implemented in Iran. Under this law, no girl above seven years of age in Iran is allowed to come out with her hair open. Also, girls older than 7 years are asked to wear loose clothes.
Recently, on July 5, Iran’s President Ibrahim Raisi implemented the hijab law in the country. As soon as it was implemented, another restriction became a rule and dominated the heads of women.
If women break this rule, they will be fined or can even be arrested. Mahsa Amini was also detained by Tehran’s ethical police for not wearing the hijab properly.
Iran government panicked by women’s performance!
After the death of Mahsa Amini, women’s demonstrations in Iran have had such an impact that the government hastily removed the chief of the moral police from the post on the third day of the demonstration. After the demonstration of women in an Islamic country, it is a big deal for the government to take this step, because in most Islamic countries, women have a big crate of restrictions on their heads, which they have to bear but they have to bear it.
