Iranian leader’s daughter does not wear hijab – level 1
31-10-2025 07:00
A video from Iran shows a wedding. The bride and her mother do not wear a hijab. The bride’s father is a very important man in Iran. He tells all women to wear hijabs, but his family does not do it.
Many people are angry. They say that it is not fair. Poor women must follow the rules, but rich people can do what they want.
Some people remember Mahsa Amini. The police take her because she does not wear her hijab properly. She dies. Many people protest. The police hurt them. People want all women in Iran to be free.
Difficult words: bride (a woman who is getting married), hijab (a scarf which many Muslim women wear to cover their hair), poor (having little money or not enough to live well).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
What injustice is highlighted by the fact that the powerful man’s family doesn’t wear hijabs while poor women must follow the rules?
