In reaction to criticisms from mullahs on remarks made by Rouhani’s deputy on women and family affairs, she reiterated, “We do not want to change the law and we have not asked for women’s permission to leave the country without permission of their husbands for indefinite period of time.”
Shahindokht Molaverd who was addressing a seminar at Tehran’s Melli University clarified: “We just want a reform.”
Noting the clergy’s criticism of proposed reform in the law, she said, “We are supposed to prepare a text and explain our purpose. We will advance our plans in consultation with the seminary and the grand authorities.”
