<<Being a Woman Against Compulsory Hijab in an Iranian Religious City
Last week, the police commander in the central city of Qom, Mohammadreza
Mirheidari, stated that warning messages had been sent to the owners of
74,000 cars in the past 10 months for hijab violations. Mirheidari also
reported that 13,000 cars had been impounded because their occupants
opposed mandatory hijab. Women residing in the most religious or
traditional cities not only face challenges arising from the law, but
also contend with conflicts rooted in societal culture and customs.
To delve deeper into this matter, IranWire interviewed four women
affected by these issues.
Dezful, January 2024
Dezful stands as an ancient and historically significant city nestled
along the Dez River in southern Khuzestan province. Residential homes
were hit by long-range missiles during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s,
resulting in the loss of hundreds of innocent lives. At the city's heart
lies a religious shrine believed to house the body of an offspring of
the 7th Shia Imam. The profound impact of the eight-year war, coupled
with the presence of the revered shrine, has imbued Dezful with a
traditional and religious atmosphere. Deviation from certain norms in
this ancient city often leads to scrutiny and judgment from its
residents.
Mehraveh, 17, provides insights into the changing dynamics in Dezful,
especially regarding women:
<While driving and inside the car, my mother opts not to wear a hijab.
Surprisingly, we haven't received any hijab-related text messages so
far. <This is likely because numerous areas in our city lack traffic
cameras, and due to the high temperatures, many car windows are tinted.
In contrast, my aunt who resides in Ahvaz (the provincial capital) has
had her car impounded for similar reasons.> The teenager says that
within the families themselves, flouting cultural norms often lead to
unwanted interference in personal matters. Instances of public scrutiny,
such as casual comments in hypermarkets, add to the societal pressure
and contribute to heightened tension within the community. Mehraveh also
points out an increased security presence in places like hypermarkets to
enforce hijab regulations.
Qom, December 2023
The city of Qom is one of Shia holiest sites, home to dozens of
seminaries and many of its most prominent clerics. The city's police
commander reported that the number of cases related to violations of
compulsory hijab laws reached 1,968 in 2023 - six times higher than in
the previous year.
Razieh, an employee at a private laboratory in Qom, recounts that in the
past, women wearing a cloak or a colored scarf would receive warnings
that they disrespected the city's dignity. Women without chador were
typically considered outsiders. After the 2022 nationwide protests, as
the atmosphere became more tense, the restrictions intensified.
According to Razieh, local media outlets constantly broadcast news
inducing fear and panic among women. Recent reports claimed that 4,000
people had been hired to monitor the city's entrances and report the
plate numbers of cars with occupants without hijab. Drastic measures
were taken against sports centers and women's clubs, justified by claims
of inappropriate online postings. Razieh says that she hasn't mustered
the courage to venture outside without a hijab because of prevailing
societal expectations. She challenges the government's claim that
everyone in Qom supports hijab, citing examples of friends with clerical
relatives who don't adhere to hijab or even religious beliefs.
Mashhad, January 2024
Nearly three years before the eruption of the Woman, Life, Freedom
movement, the Fars news agency, which is affiliated with the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), reported a significant surge in
opposition to mandatory hijab among women and girls in religious cities.
The citizens of Mashhad, the site of one of the most renowned Shia
shrines, have been deprived of basic cultural programs, including
concerts. Arezoo, a local woman who opposes mandatory hijab, tells
IranWire that over the past year, many cafés, restaurants and other
businesses in the city have faced bans and restrictions for
non-compliance with headscarf regulations. <Previously, sealed cafés
explicitly cited non-compliance with hijab as the reason for closure.
But now, such explanations are omitted; they simply say the closures are
due to repairs,> she says. Upon entering cafes, discussions with the
managers about hijab are ubiquitous. Some places have dark windows or
curtains to hide the inside, but government informants remain vigilant,
according to Arezoo. She highlighted a peculiar increase in the number
of CCTV cameras in Mashhad. <Many women against hijab wear hats or
scarves inside their cars, but there is a significant number of
individuals without hijab in public spaces, streets, arcades and shops,>
she says. Rezvaneh, another woman who works in Mashhad, describes the
strict enforcement of hijab rules on the subway, where the names of
passengers entering and exiting the stations are displayed. She says
that many citizens, fearing the impoundment of their cars or the closure
of their businesses, have reluctantly resorted to wearing headscarves.
The owner of the beauty institution where she works has seen her
business closed several times, while her daughter, who runs a clothing
gallery, has been repeatedly admonished.>>
