A religious state is a funny thing. There’s a pretty fuzzy line between legality and cultural taboos. I mean, the place has a president and a supreme religious leader.

According to the article technically women can’t get motorcycle licenses in Iran, but according to the woman in the article she hasn’t been harassed due to that, so I’m not sure how it works in practice.
Isn’t it a legal thing in Iran?
