The new law, which is expected to go into effect in the coming weeks, would make it a crime for women to appear in public without covering their hair and neck
The hijab is a mandatory dress code for women in Iran, and women who do not wear it can be subject to fines, imprisonment, and even lashings.
The new law would increase the penalties for these offenses, and would also make it easier for the authorities to enforce the hijab requirement.
The law has been met with criticism from human rights groups and women’s rights activists, who argue that it is a violation of women’s rights and freedoms.
They also argue that the law will disproportionately affect women from poor and minority groups, who are more likely to be unable to afford to cover their hair properly.
The Iranian government has defended the new law, saying that it is necessary to protect the country’s Islamic values.
They also argue that the law is necessary to maintain public order and to prevent social unrest.
The hijab requirement has been a source of controversy in Iran for many years. Some women support the requirement, saying that it is a way to express their religious beliefs.
Others oppose the requirement, saying that it is a form of oppression and discrimination.
The new law is likely to exacerbate the debate over the hijab requirement in Iran.
It is also likely to lead to increased tensions between the government and those who oppose the law.
