Iranian media reports say the legislation imposes fines equivalent to up to 20 months of the average salary for women who improperly wear a hijab or forgo it altogether in public or on social media.

Fines must be paid within 10 days, failing which violators will face restrictions on access to government services, such as the issuance or renewal of passports, driver's licenses and exit permits.

Mary Mohammadi, a US-based Iranian political analyst, told DW that the law aims to hinder woman by making their struggle too costly.

"It seeks to prevent the advancement of women's demands, bolster the morale of the regime's ideological supporters, exhaust the psyche of society by creating all-encompassing conflicts in daily life and weaken the revolutionary potential led by women," she said.

The legislation requires institutions to provide CCTV footage to help police identify people opposing the compulsory hijab. Noncompliance will result in fines or the dismissal of the institutions' officials.

It also criminalizes the design or promotion of items such as clothing, statues and toys deemed to encourage "nudity" or lack of veiling.

The Industry, Mines and Trade Ministry has been tasked with monitoring clothing producers and suppliers to ensure garments comply with hijab legislation.
