What would happen in Teheran if a woman walked down the street without a headscarf?

Question

She's a foreign woman. Not Iranian

Answer 1

Travelling in Iran as a woman means stepping into a culture vastly different from your own. Accepting these cultural differences and abiding by them is the only way to ensure you avoid any problems or frustrations while you are there. As a society under strict Sharia law, it is a requirement that all women wear the hijab. Signs in public places show two possible variations of the hijab: the chador, an all-encompassing head to toe garment; or a maqna'e, a headscarf with a manteau (baggy coat) and trousers. Most Iranian women in Tehran, however, and indeed all foreign women, can get away with wearing their normal clothes, provided the head, shoulders, arms, legs and body are completely covered and the shape of the body is undetectable. You must also wear a headscarf. If your headscarf slips back a little revealing a bit too much hair, then you can be sure that someone will let you know. Other female travellers to Iran advise heading to the nearest shop on arrival to buy a headscarf and manteau as this is the easiest thing to wear. If you were to travel to the shrines at Qom, Shiraz and Mashhad then you would have to don a chador.
