Description- In Iran women are the key to the transformation of the country.
Women played an influential role in the downfall of the Shah in 1979 and the
rise to power of Muhammad Hatemi. After Hatemi became president, discussions in
the media started an ongoing debate on dress code, the chador, punishments for
criminals such as diyet and rajm, polygamy, the muta (short-term) marriage,
women’s abilities to become judges, women’s right to divorce, their visability
in the cinema, television and the media. Women claimed that the culture of
patriarchy rather than religion kept women under pressure.
Where do Iranian women stand vis a vis religious authorities and pro-freedom
intellectuals?
