Copy of the actual Islamic Dress Law and copy of the section of the Shari'a on the dress code [IRN14630]

Information on the specific subjects of the Islamic Dress Law and the Shari'a dress code is currently unavailable to the DIRB. Nonetheless, it might be of interest to note that there is no section in the Shari'a that discusses the dress code for women (Doi 1984). Iran is one of the countries where the Shari'a has been reformed through legislative processes (Ibid., 457). The dress code for women and the penalties that go with it have become part of the laws of Iran through article 102 of Iran's Islamic Penal Code, a copy of which is attached.

Additional and/or corroborative information on the requested subject is currently unavailable to the DIRB in Ottawa.
