Iran has proposed freezing the bank accounts of women caught wearing or not wearing the hijab inappropriately, said Iranian newspaper Donya-e-Eqtesad referring to the statement of an Iranian MP and member of the Islamic Council of Iran Commission on Culture Hossein Jalali.

The parliamentarian is confident that such a measure will help stop protests in the country, and Iranian women will start wearing hijab properly.

Jalali believes there is no need to resort to arrests in case of hijab violations. The parliamentarian suggested issuing a written warning to violators and blocking their bank accounts in case of repeated violations.
