These days, Iran has become a topic of discussion in the media around the world due to the death of President Ibrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash. Different types of reactions are seen coming from all sides regarding this crash. However, this is not the first time that this Islamic country has become a part of the world media headlines.

Some time ago, the protests over the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in this country also caught everyone's attention. According to reports, Mahsa was detained for breaking the dressing rules and not wearing a hijab, where she died.

Talking about the dress code of Iran, there are some strict rules for the women here and the female tourists coming from outside, which are very important to follow, otherwise legal action can be taken. Let's know about these rules related to clothes.

Does everyone have to wear a burqa?

It is wrong to believe that it is mandatory for all women to wear burqa in this Islamic country. However, this does not mean that they have the freedom to wear anything. In this country, modern-day girls and women are seen in casual clothes. She is seen in clothes ranging from kurta sets to jeans-kurti and long coveralls. (Photo Courtesy: Unsplash)

Here women are prohibited from wearing clothes that are short in length or too tight on the body. For example, shorts, bodycon or skinfit tops, etc. Low-cut neckline and sleeveless clothes also cannot be worn here with these clothes.

Instead of this, clothes can be worn which completely cover the hands and legs and which also have a high neckline. (Photo Courtesy: Unsplash)
