Women get right to ride
Iranian women are being allowed to ride solo again for the first time in 25 years.
The ruling – from the chief of the nation’s traffic police – says it is now not an offence for women to ride and they are welcome to apply for a licence just like men.
The Islamic revolution of 1979 effectively ruled out riding for women – though driving and riding bikes has been tolerated since the 1990s, according to IranMania.com
A previous plan to get women on bikes (in 2002, see link, right) was ended when officials stepped in.

Unfortunately "some places" it's still 1005, and yes there is something wrong with that.

Strange that in our politically correct times we should respect different cultures and religions with equanimity when the don't respect their adherents to the same degree.
