According to them, the Iranian way of life has been “dishonored” and has “lost its meaning” as soon as anyone could “choose their garments” among other things. To them, what must stay a priority is, on one hand, the strict obligation to follow the laws that force women to wear the veil, and, on the other hand, the codes of the Islamic way of life. Thus, new means must be mobilized to apply these measures. Iranian Islamic militias (organized by Ansar-E Hezbollah and its leader Yalasarat al-Hussein) have since threatened administration to enforce laws on wearing the veil themselves, if it did not take stricter measures to make sure these laws were applied in the streets. Therefore, to avoid conflict, the administration adopted the law “ordering good and forbidding evil”.
