#Iran regime institutionalized Misogyny

The so-called “Islamic” Republic regime has ruled
Iran for nearly 40 years with its deviated, backward
interpretation of Islam. women.ncr-iran.org/2020/06/09/ins…

#Iran

The echo of Iranian women’s outcries during the
anti-monarchic revolution could still be heard
when on the eve of the Intl Women’s Day in 1979, Khomeini took the 1st step to clamp down on #women by declaring that wearing #hijab was compulsory 4 all govt employees.

In the spring of 1979, special civil courts replaced
the Family Protection Courts for handling family
disputes where a religious Sharia judge handled
the right to divorce.

In yet another misogynist measure, a law was
adopted in the spring of 1979, according to which
women were deprived of becoming a judge and
all female judges were dismissed.

#Iran #ChildMarriage Institutionalized

In 1982, the legal marriage age for girls was
officially lowered from 18 to 9 years. Consistent
with this law, it became forbidden for married girls
to study at schools unless permitted by their fathers
or husbands.

#Iran #Women under the mullahs' constitution were defined as mothers whose duty is giving birth to human beings who adhere to the ruling regime’s ideology, not as human beings with specific social, civil and political rights.

In Article 115 of the mullahs’ Constitution, it is
assumed that the presidency itself is the sole right
of men with religious and political background.

The Law on the Conditions of Election of Judges states judges shall be selected from among the “eligible men.” In 1985, women were allowed to appear in judicial advisory positions, but were still denied the right to make rulings.

Principle 2 of the #Iran regime's constitution institutionalizes a medieval religious dictatorship and allows the mullahs to commit any crime against the Iranian people and especially women under the name of Islam.

#Iran under the mullahs: A child’s custodian is first, the father, then the grandfather. If they did not exist, and if the mother was qualified accdg 2d mullahs’ backward criteria, only then could she become the custodian of her child. women.ncr-iran.org/2020/06/09/ins…

Iran Theocracy does not belong in the 21st century!
