Traditions and Unwritten Rules Overpowering Enforcement Of Laws

Traditions are often view as a cultural beauty in which. This is true of most nations. Traditions help us remember the past with clarity and love. There are many kinds of traditions; Family traditions, Holiday Traditions, and even religious traditions. But in Iran not all traditions are positive. The question i pose to you is... Can a tradition or traditions over power rules and law enforcement? It seems that in Iran this is true, specially for women rights. It seems that traditions in Iran over power women rights. Women in Iran are dealing with specific challenges. Iran is going through a hard transition (specially during this war) from tradition to modernity and from lawlessness to legalism. We know that in the Middle East religion is a hot commodity and widely respected, religion is as sacred to the Middle East as Sunday football for some. Religion has always played a role in the condition of Iran and been inextricable from its social norms. Women's legal inequality originates not only from shortcomings in rules and regulations, but also from unwritten rules originating in social customs and traditions that often make the enforcement of laws difficult or virtually impossible.

We can all relate on how hard it is to shake off a tradition or even an unwritten rule. But in Iran traditions should atleast be modified for not only the protection of women but also to establish a social order and equality between males and females of Iran.The basic true of all this is that women in Iran do not have to education to promote and fight for what is correct and ethical which can be said about most Middle Eastern countries. Iranians (and the Middle East) must understand and learn that all individuals must be protected and promoted regardless of culture, language, race, nationality,TRADITIONS, religion but most importantly GENDER! Human rights should be a universal practice and should be taught in every part of this beautiful place we call Earth..... The great english poet, essayist, and politician Joseph Addison once wrote:
"Tradition is an important help to history, but its statements should be carefully scrutinized before we rely on them. "
