According to local time on October 20, a wedding held in the capital of Iran, Tehran, after the exposure of the Espinas Palace Hotel, a five-star hotel, sparked widespread anger among the public. It is that the wedding was actually held in May last year, but it is unknown who made the wedding picture public, thus triggering a wave of waves.

According to the report, the wedding cost about 14 billion riyals (about 150,000 RMB), which is considered luxurious in the country. But this is not the main reason for public anger, even if according to 2022 statistics, about half of Iran's 92 million people are below the poverty line. The crux of the matter is the bride's wedding dress.

Judging from the photos from the wedding scene, the bride, with her black hair scattered around, chose a tube top wedding dress. This style is common in other countries. Although it somewhat highlights her personal charm, it is not excessive.

But it is different in Iran, after all, it is a country where women are warned not to wear a headscarf or even be caught. Ironically, Ali Shamkhani, the father of the bride, is a senior official in the country, serving as a member of the Iranian Commission on Equity and a political adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader.

It is reported that although Shamkhani, 70, is not the initiator of the "headscarf law", he is a long-term supporter and defender of this system. His political stance belongs to the "institutional conservative" and advocates that women should abide by the Islamic dress code.

According to Shamhani, Iranian women need to cover their bodies and hair, and the wedding dress his daughter wears is clearly ¡°unreasonable.¡±

To this end, some Iranians posted on social media saying,"Shamkani's daughter can wear whatever she wants, but on the streets of Tehran, there are tens of thousands of 'moral police' monitoring ordinary women and forcing them to wear headscarves." Others pointed out,"The bride was fearless because her father was powerful. This has nothing to do with values, it is just hypocrisy."

Exiled Iranian women¡¯s rights activist Mashih Alinejad expressed her indignation on social media, writing: ¡°The daughter of one of the highest law enforcers in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ali Shamkhani, held a luxurious wedding in a shirt dress. At the same time, Iranian women were beaten for exposing their hair. They used bullets, bullets, and prisons to force ¡®Islamic values¡¯ to promote, but they did not allow themselves to suffer.¡±

It is worth noting that Iran is one of the only countries in the world to incorporate religious dress codes into criminal laws and strictly enforce them. At the same time, their legislators are constantly refining the bill and listing out the scope of "violations of the headscarf law" one by one, including not wearing headscarves in public places such as cars, shops, and airports; wearing transparent, tulle or receding headscarves; making too heavy makeup or "eye-catching" hair dye colors.

In addition to a large number of "moral police" patrolling streets and alleys, they also require operators such as shops, taxis, and airports to "cooperate with supervision", otherwise they will be punished.
