Women Driving
The debate about women’s rights in Iran looks like it might never end. However, at least it is all right for women to drive cars in the country.

This means that if a woman is caught driving without a hijab, the police will impound her car and she will have to suffer the consequences.

This is exciting news, though we are sure they did not have an easy time getting there. Remember, they still had to ask for their husband’s approval!
