Iran: $260 fine for women with ’bad hijabs’, AFP reports

Two women have been fined $260 by a Tehran court for violating the Islamic dress code by not wearing their mandatory hijabs (headscarves) properly in the street, AFP quoted a judicial official saying recently.
'In recent days several cases have been filed in the court for bad hijabs and, in two of them, the accused were sentenced to pay 9 million rials ($260/232 euros) in cash,' daily Arman quoted the official as saying.
When in public, all women in Iran, even foreigners, are required to wear the 
No details were given on what the women had done wrong to warrant the fine, which is equivalent to the monthly minimum wage.
Earlier this month, a police official said women drivers could have their cars impounded if they are caught driving with a poorly fixed veil or with their heads uncovered.
'If a (female) driver in a car is poorly veiled or has taken her veil off, the vehicle will be seized in accordance with the law,' said Tehran traffic police chief General Teymour Hosseini.
In addition to the struggle to make women, and men, observe Islamic values in the public, police also interfere in people’s private lives.
In the past six months, managers of 73 residential buildings have been 'called in' as part of the war against mixed 'night parties,' Arman quoted the same official as saying.
'The number of night parties has dropped sharply compared to last year,' he said. 
Parties involving unmarried men and women are prohibited by law.
