Iran: A strict hijab law will be passed, CTV will monitor.

Iran passed a strict hijab law. According to this law, women who do not wear hijab properly or oppose hijab should be punished. Lawmakers passed the law after several such criticisms by Iran’s President Masoud Pezhashkian. For a few days now, opposition has been seen in Iran regarding the hijab, which led to the passing of this strict law. Following the instructions of former President Ibrahim Raisi, the Iranian Judiciary drafted the ‘Hijab and Chastity’ bill document. It is not that there was no law in Iran before the word hijab, but this time the law was strictly enforced. Since 1979, women in Iran have been allowed to cover their heads in public. In 2022, the number of women who did not wear the hijab became significant after the death of Iranian Kurdish woman Mehsa Amini, a policewoman.

Let’s know now what is the new law from Hijab? According to Iranian media, the law allows for fines equal to 20 salaries for women who do not wear the hijab properly or abandon the hijab altogether in public places and on social media platforms. Paying this fine within 10 days would be fooled into doing so because of the services offered to the woman in the form of multiple passports, for example renewal or issuance, issuance of driving license and issuance of exit permit.

Under this law, agencies can be identified by providing CTV footage to help the police identify these women. If institutions refuse to do so, they will also be fined, or the institution itself will be suspended. The law also criminalises designs or advertisements for clothing promoting ‘nudity’ or veiling, statuesque and toy. In addition, the Ministry of Industries, Mines and Commerce has been given the responsibility to look after defense manufacturers and forces. Make sure that according to the rules related to hijab.

Criticizing Iran’s new hijab law, Iranian political thinker Maryam Mohammadi says that the purpose of this law is to stop women’s struggle. To think in accordance with the demands of Mohammedan law, ideological ideologues seek to eliminate the thought of creating conflict in the daily struggle to promote women’s lives and advance women’s revolutionary potential. Maryam Mohammadi also said that “Iranian women have now lost any kind of power and tolerance.” Now there are only two options before him: freedom or death.
