Rules are strict in Iran: Since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Iran has made strict rules to prevent women from singing in front of male and female audiences or appearing in public or on media platforms without hijab. Violating these laws can lead to serious consequences. There are strict rules regarding dress code in Iran. However, opposition to this is also going on loudly in the country.
