Two Iranian women were fined US$260 in Tehran because they were "poorly veiled," AFP said Iranian media quoted a judicial source on Wednesday.
The two women were fined 9,000,000 rials ($260 or 230 euros ), as part of a recent campaign against poor veiling in Tehran, said the judicial source without giving further details, AFP quoted the Iranian daily Arman newspaper.
Since the 1979 Islamic revolution, wearing the veil or headscarf has been mandatory for all women in Iran, whether Iranian or foreign.
There has nonetheless been a gradual relaxation in taking measures against non-compliant women since the mid 1990s.
In wealthier areas of north Tehran, women are generally less committed to the veil and the Islamic attire.
According to AFP, however, the police has conducted several campaigns in recent years to enforce this rule.
"If a (female) driver in a car is poorly veiled or has taken her veil off, the vehicle will be seized in accordance with the law," the head of Tehran's traffic police, General Teymour Hosseini, was quoted as saying by the official ISNA news agency on September 2.
