#7Not sure why this is being posted on HN but anyway.
Iran like all countries have certain cultural norms. I am not allowed to chew gum in Singapore. I am not allowed to drink alcohol publicly in places like Dubai. I am not allowed to smoke outside in the city in parts of Australia. I am not allowed to wear full body swimsuits in parts of France. Welcome to the world.

Wearing a burkini would get you in trouble in France, I hear.

Are we talking about social norms or the law in Iran ? because they are not the same thing. Are women required to cover their head in public in Iran, by law?
