This is literally what shit for brains grew up under.
No More Family Protection Laws
Almost immediately after the revolutionary government took over, family protection laws designed to give women legal recourse in family matters were summarily abolished.
New laws took their place:
The legal marrying age of a woman was lowered to the age of nine, in accordance with Islamic Law.
In 1981, the Islamic Law of Retribution was reinstated, allowing the crime of adultery to be punished by stoning to death.
Ayatollah Khomeini stated that women’s honor needed to be preserved. For their own good, women appearing in public were to be accompanied by a male relative at all times and be able to provide proof of the relationship. Any contact with non-related men could result in legal punishment.
Segregation of the sexes was imposed across all aspects of Iranian life. In public transportation, women were required by law to sit in the back of the bus as the front seats were reserved for male passengers only.
A woman’s testimony was legally reduced to half that of a man’s.
Family planning was cast by the new regime as a Western conspiracy to weaken Iran, and women lost all access to these vital health services.
All nurseries were closed, decried as a Western conspiracy to “deprive children of motherly love and Islamic upbringing.”
Strictly Enforced Dress Code
New laws were passed banning Western clothing and requiring that women remain completely covered by a traditional Islamic hijab in public at all times. No hair could be visible; no open-toed shoes.
A special government agency was created to enforce the moral dress code; the Prevention of Vice and Enjoining of Virtue center dealt exclusively with women found to be in violation of the dress code in any way.
The military training of the revolutionary guards was expanded to include spotting imperfections in the dress code and policing women.
Even laughing too loudly or enthusiastically was considered immodest and could put an erring female in danger of legal punishment or worse.
