 Iran has tightened controls on its Islamic dress code for women, banning robes deemed too revealing, newspapers said Sunday.
Authorities sent directives to shops to stop the production and sale of "immoral coats," which are body-clinging and too short, the newspapers reported. Under Iran's strict Islamic law, women are required to dress in loose-fitting, ankle-length clothes and cover their hair and neck with headscarves. Violators risk being fined or lashed. Residents say Iran has periodic crackdowns after protests by conservatives that many women are flouting the dress code. In a sign of a gradual relaxation of Iran's social restrictions, some Iranian women wear long trousers and knee- length tight robes, and allow part of their hair to spill out from under colorful scarves.
(Agencies) | 據(jù)當(dāng)?shù)貓蠹?月25日的報道，伊朗已經(jīng)加緊了對婦女伊斯蘭服裝的管制，禁止婦女們穿著過于暴露的長袍。 伊朗政府向各個商店頒布了指令，嚴(yán)令禁止生產(chǎn)和銷售"不合道德標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的服裝"：就是那種緊身的、太短的衣服。 在伊朗這個國家中，伊斯蘭教規(guī)十分嚴(yán)格，要求婦女們穿著寬松的、長達(dá)腳踝的衣服，還要用女士專門的頭巾遮住頭發(fā)和脖子。那些感冒天下之大不韙者將會面臨處罰甚至鞭笞的酷刑。 伊朗每隔一段時間就會有保守者對女士們無視教規(guī)對服裝的規(guī)定而進(jìn)行抗議，之后政府就會抓緊對婦女服裝的管制。 原來，隨著伊朗政府對社會風(fēng)俗的宗教限制逐漸放松，一些伊朗婦女穿起了長褲和只長及膝蓋的緊身袍子，而且還可以將秀發(fā)從那些五顏六色的頭巾下面解放出一部分了。（因此，就有一些保守主義者對此看不慣啦?。?br/> （中國日報網(wǎng)站譯） |
