Etemad Newspaper: How does punishing women for hijab help reform society?
Truly, at a time when hundreds of obvious and significant errors and violations occur in this country, one example being the occurrence of one of the biggest economic corruptions, has the implementation of this punishment contributed to the reform of society?
The condition for effectiveness in forbidding wrong is the title of a note by Seyed Hassan Islami Ardakani for Etemad Newspaper, in which it is mentioned that last week I read a report on the punishment of someone who was sentenced to 74 lashes due to unconventional behavior. In this short report, which has not been denied, a prominent point is that the person entered the place of execution without a headscarf and left in the same manner after enduring the lashes.
According to Etemad, he added, now among the dozens of questions about the implementation of this punishment, I highlight only one question here: What was the purpose of this punishment? Was the goal for others to take a lesson? Then they should have executed this sentence in public. Or was the aim deterrence? In this case, there is no sign of it. Truly, at a time when hundreds of obvious and significant errors and violations occur in this country, one example being the occurrence of one of the biggest economic corruptions, has the implementation of this punishment contributed to the reform of society?
