Iran: The dress code of each country reflects cultural differences. Even though it may seem a bit scary or awkward at first, it becomes mandatory to follow if you live in a city with a strict dress code. Being an Islamic country, Iran has a specific dress code that has to be followed by the locals as well as the tourists.
You will be surprised to know that the ‘morality police’ patrol the streets of Iran only for the dress of women and men. If someone violates the rules of the dress code, he is first warned and then those who violate these rules are presented in the judicial system.
Please tell that 22-year-old Mehsa Amini died in jail custody due to a violation of the dress code in Iran. After this incident, there were many violent demonstrations in the country, and women cut their hair in protest. After 10 months of the incident, the dress code rules in Iran have become even more strict.
In this, the Gasht-e-Irshad became an important part of the Iranian police, whose job is to strictly enforce Islamic law on women wearing the hijab. It was officially formed in 2006. The work of Gasht-e-Irshad prevents women from wearing short clothes or torn jeans. Along with this, it has also been emphasized that the whole body should be covered with hijab.
