They say women should wear head scarves, yes, but not a veil that covers their faces.
In fact, if you go to their capital city many of the women have just as much of their head covered as the nomadic women you saw in these pictures. (Note, in other, more religious areas women will tend to cover all of their hair, but that's the only real difference)
- DoreenMichele 8y agoThank you. I tried to confirm before posting. This was my source: https://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-relationship-women-veil-iranian-state-739849 https://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-relationship-women... I can't manage to copy and paste the text, but a portion of it indicates that it is still state law, though it is enforced less strictly than it once was and not applied to foreign women, and women still protest it.
