Islamic State Tightens Dress Code for Women

http://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/islamic-state-imposes-stricter-dress-code-on-women/3327814.html

Islamic State has issued new dress codes on women living in its areas in Syria, say local residents and activist groups.

IS is forcing women to wear only black. It punishes women who don’t obey, local residents say. IS says any women’s clothing that is not black is seductive.

One man living in the eastern Syrian city of Deir Ezzor said IS members arrested him because his wife and mother were wearing colorful clothes.

The resident, Abu Hassan, told the Syrian opposition website All4Syria the women were in their home when religious police drove by and saw their colorful clothes.
