I couldn't live a second class life, threw off hijab: Ajam Jangravi
Ajam Jangravi now lives in the UK. She said in this matter that by wearing the hijab, I felt that I was living a second life. I used to tell myself that I can do this. I felt a power in myself. I threw off the hijab.
The compulsory wearing of the hijab came into force after the Islamic Revolution of 1979.
Although the hijab was mandated in Iran in 1979, on August 15, President Ibrahim Raisi signed an order and was asked to strictly enforce it as a dress code. Before 1979, Iran was quite independent in the matter of women's clothing under the rule of Shah Pahlavi.
On 8 January 1936, Raza Shah implemented Kashf-e-Hijab. That is, if a woman wears a hijab, the police will take her off.
In 1941, Shah Raza's son Mohammad Reza took over the rule and banned the Kashf-e-Hijab. He allowed women to wear the dress of their choice.
In 1963, Mohammad Reza Shah gave women the right to vote and women were also elected to the Parliament.
In 1967, Iran's personal law was also reformed in which women got equal rights.
The age of marriage for girls was raised from 13 to 18 years. Also abortion was made a legal right.
Emphasis was laid on increasing the participation of girls in studies. By the 1970s, the share of girls in Iran's universities was 30%.
In 1979, Shah Reza Pahlavi had to leave the country and Iran became an Islamic Republic. Ayotollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a Shia religious leader, was made the Supreme Leader of Iran. From here Iran became a stronghold of Shia Islam in the world. Khomeini significantly reduced women's rights
