Iran Bans Peepholes in Dress Code Crackdown

TEHRAN —
Police have outlawed peepholes in the front doors of private offices and vowed to shut down any foreign company whose female staff flout Iran’s strict Islamic dress code.
Peepholes presumably give women who do not comply with the code at work the chance to cover up before strangers are allowed to enter.
The law requires women to cover their head and body with loose garments, showing no more than their face and hands. Violators may receive up to 74 lashes, be fined or imprisoned.
