The ladies must carry out their social and religious duties now. They ought to maintain public decency. They ought to perform their social and religious tasks while observing public morality. It should not be like what it was in the past when a woman would be brought into the Majlis. But what kind of woman was she and what did she want to do [in the Majlis]? Some ladies have also entered the Majlis now, but their presence is different from that of the women in those days. That was one kind of presence whereas this one is of another kind. They [in those days] held functions; they had a "Women's Day" that marked the removal of the" hijab"… Thank God that all those problems are over now, and now all the women and the men ought to involve themselves in the social and political affairs of the country. They must keep an eye on the Majlis and the government, and must express their views.
