I have a question: women in Iran wear these scarfs because they want to, or because they have to? I ask coz on some photos they don't wear it (?)

Is it in the constitution, or other act? Not wearing it is a misdemeanour or a crime? What are the penalties? Just my pure curiousity...

After the revolution , the current government since they are overly religious they force all women in Iran to wear scarfs but it does not have to be fully covered as long as they have something on their hair.

There are also poeple on the streets that their job is make sure that women have their veil all the time. If they do not wear it they can not come to the streets at all and if they are seen not wearing it they could get arrested and recieve a notice.

The pictures that you see of the fans that do not have veil is because it was in Germany.

Also in Ski resorts of Tehran they can just wear a hat or nothing since there are less guards on the ski resorts.

OMG!!!!!

I had no idea how beautiful Tehran and Iran is, I love it, the pictures of life in general look amazing too. This is so not what we see on television. I'm so overwhelmed by the pictures, if I wasn't a westerner, I would love to stop by and visit the city and ski resorts. This thread is a perfect tourist advertisment.

It is such a shame religious extremism, politics and mentaly unstable dictators can ruin the general happiness and basic freedoms of people the west take for granted. If only they realised life is too short for half the shit thats happening in some parts of the world.

You are absolutely right Wilko. Life is too short to fight and kill innocent people for oil or other reasons. I sometimes wonder that how long Bush or any other cruel governments think that they are gonna live that they mess up the world for money.

Could any mod edit the thread and delete those disgusting pics? This is not a thread about politics, and I doubt any of us opened it to see pics of people being hanged or buried...

Back to topic, nice pics, I just loved the setting of Tehran, surrounded by mountains
