A lot of European and American countries are worried about women’s right in Iran.
They say that women don’t have freedom in Iran and they are under the pressure of the Iranian regime. Also a lot of people think that all of these pressures are because of the Islam and they say Islam limits women’s right and put them under the pressure but the question is Are this things true or not? .
These are some Iranian women’s problems:
1: Hijab(The Islamic veil worn by Muslim women, sometimes including a veil that covers the face except for the eyes)
2: The difference between the women’s and men’s death penalty in Iran
3: Not being allowed to go to some public places like stadium
4: Not being able to participate in sport and musical events
5: The right to get divorce in Iran is usually by men not by women
6: Sighe (Men have the right to have relationship with other women (friendship and sexual relationship) even if they are married or lets say bigamy is legal in Iran.
.
.

.
.
Etc.
And a lot of other things that I will go through it.
1: hijab
In Islam you have to wear a scarf because Islam wants women to be protected and that was true and fair enough many years ago in Arabic countries but in this modern world women are safe because of policemen and securities and sometimes young girls want to be fashionable and attractive. Nowadays women in Arabic countries have the right not to wear a scarf (except in Mecca city) but in Iran you have to wear a scarf.The reason is some political issues that has along story. Another important thing is that before the Islamic revolution(27 years ago) when we had a king women had a right to come out of their homes without wearing scarf however, a lot of people wore scarf because of their religion which was Islam.
We have studied in economics that if government makes something illegal people has more incentive to that thing just like in Iran which a lot of young girls don't like to have hijab.
I should say that this is a small part of the women's problem in Iran. There are more problems that they are even more important and we should be worried about that one's.

I really enjoyed reading your first post. This sounds like an interesting topic to me. I find this particular an interesting blog since I am not really familiar with the whole issue regarding this topic. In my home country, Germany, articles about this issue are published but I am looking forward to get in information from someone who is more related to this topic. Your blog is well written but I wished you talked more about your personal position.
