Iran new law for hijab: Iran, which is in the news for its dangerous laws, has made a new law regarding hijab, which has now become a controversy. Under this law, women who violate hijab rules can also be given death penalty. Under Article 60 of Iran’s new law, women can be fined, flogged or jailed for violating the law. Repeat offenders face up to 15 years in prison or the death penalty. Iranian authorities have also announced the opening of a controversial hijab clinic for women who violate the country’s dress code.
According to a report, those accused of promoting anti-hijab views in foreign media or organizations will face up to 10 years in jail. Along with this, a fine of up to 12,500 pounds may also have to be paid. Apart from this, those who try to interfere in the arrest of women violating the law will not be spared. The Iranian government can directly hand over such people to jail.
The law aims to preserve the sanctity of hijab culture
Iran said that the purpose of this law is to maintain the sanctity of hijab culture. Iran said those protesting against not wearing appropriate clothing, promoting nudity or covering the face would be severely punished. It is noteworthy that since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Iran has implemented a law that requires women to cover their hair in public places. In 2022, protests took place across the country against this law.
