Following the increase in judicial برخوردs with women over compulsory hijab, domestic news agencies reported the sealing of the Kahkeshan Ghadeer Hall in Qom after the attendance of Ali Daei and his wife at a conference. The reason given for this action is that his wife did not comply with the hijab.

At the same time, messages received by Iran International also indicate an increase in pressure on schoolgirls and university students to observe compulsory hijab.
