For Some Muslim Wives, Abuse Knows No Borders - washingtonpost.com
“I was perfectly happy living alone, but the family kept pushing me to marry. I wanted to show them I was a good Muslim girl,” said Shireen, now 37 and divorced.

A lot of the time nowadays I can’t believe we’re actually living in the 21st Century. Not only do we not have flying cars and plentiful, clean energy - but we also have to continue acting like primitive, tribal screw-heads living and dying by books written over a thousand years ago. Sigh.

Iran warns women over slack dressing - Yahoo! News
Iran has issued more than a thousand warnings and arrested dozens in a new drive aimed at forcing women whose dress is deemed inappropriate to adhere to Islamic dress rules, officials said Sunday.
The nationwide drive — an annual pre-summer crackdown given greater prominence this year — is aimed primarily at women whose coats are seen as too tight, trousers excessively short or hejabs (headscarves) overly loose.

It foresees handing out warnings and guidance to women found to have infringed its dress code in public. Those who show resistance to change can be arrested and then be the subject of legal proceedings.

“Since the plan started at 10:00 am on Saturday, 1,347 women have been warned and given Islamic guidance,” the head of information at Tehran city’s police force, Mehdi Ahmadi, told AFP.
