Trust cinema Kamiez Nowrozi, a lawyer, wrote on his personal channel: “A crime has been declared against two women, a noble cinematographer and an Iranian artist, for not observing hijab in a movie ceremony.”
This is not the first time that women are persecuted because of the issue of hijab. Some of these women have also been well-known personalities from different artistic and cultural classes
But the story continues and new news arrives every day.
In criminal law, there is a direct relationship between criminal law and ethics. That is, when the practical law is recognized as a crime. The society also considered that act immoral and immoral. For example, theft, insult, betrayal of trust, fraud, murder are crimes and people consider them immoral.
People support the fight against these criminals and consider their perpetrators as innocent people.
However, when the law considers an act as a crime, but the people do not consider that act immoral, not only does dealing with the perpetrators of that act not meet the support of the people, but even the action against the perpetrators of that act is opposed in different ways.
What we call the fight against the victim will definitely fail due to the conflict with public morality.
The issue of hijab is one of these acts. They say that not wearing a veil is a crime, and not wearing a veil deserves to be punished. Assuming that this claim is true, but detailed experiences show that many people do not accept this point of view and do not consider veiled women, or as some say, veiled women, as criminals or immoral.
Regardless of the fact that some dealings with women under the pretext of hijab are illegal, patrolling the streets of Tehran and other cities, criminally confronting women because of hijab is a very ineffective and failed policy.
If the criminal system is in conflict with public morality, it will only lead to confrontation with the people, not criminal justice.
