There have been many controversies regarding women's rights in Iran. One of the most shocking of these is the law under which a father can marry his daughter. Under this law, a father can marry his adopted daughter when she turns 13.

This law was passed by the Iranian government in 2013 and the courts also have no objection to it.

According to this law, when a girl is 13 years old, her father can accept her as his wife. It has been argued that this will free girls from the obligation to wear hijab when they are in front of their fathers. In Iran, girls are required to wear hijab in front of their father from the age of 13, and the purpose of this law is said to be to end this obligation.

A father can marry his daughter at the age of 13

According to this law of Iran, if a girl is 13 years or older, her father can marry her. The argument given is that this will give freedom for daughters to wear hijab in front of their fathers. For this, the father has to tell that he is taking this step for the welfare of his daughter.

There are many strict laws for women in Iran

- Women are not allowed to shake hands with men. If a woman is caught shaking hands with a man in public, she can be punished.

- The face or any part of the body of girls above 12 years of age should not be seen by any man other than father, husband, or brother.

- There is also a provision for strict punishment for not wearing hijab.

Women's movement

After the murder of Mahsa Amini, when Iran's moral police beat her for not dressing properly, a huge movement of women started. Women are constantly demanding the abolition of unjust laws against them. Human rights activists see this law as legalizing child sexual abuse. They have raised their voice against this law and demanded its immediate abolition.

The existence of such discriminatory laws and restrictions against women in Iran is not only wrong from the point of view of social justice, but it is also a violation of international human rights standards. The movement of Iranian women around the world is an important initiative, which is fighting for their rights. In such a situation, it is important that the international community pays attention to this situation and takes concrete steps to protect the rights of women in Iran.
