Ali Larijani’s Opposition to the Modesty and Hijab Law / If You Pass a Law That You Couldn’t Convince Society About, It’s Only a Law on Paper

Ali Larijani:

 "The principle of observing hijab is a religious duty. We must accept that hijab benefits society, gives women dignity, and makes societal relationships more reasonable. However, we must convince society about this."

 "Accompanying this, there should be regulations that help people gradually accept it. Therefore, I think the issue of hijab needs more convincing than legal enforcement. That is, media should be used to explain to people. It is a cultural solution."
