Hojatoleslam Ali Beheshti, Iran Cleric, Claims He Was Beaten Up By ‘Badly Veiled’ Woman
Women’s rights in Iran may be in a sordid state, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Iranian women can’t take care of themselves. A cleric in the northern province of Semnan claims he received the beating of his lifetime last month after advising two women passing by a mosque to cover up.

One of the women, apparently, did not appreciate his advice. Original post on huffingtonpost.com Comments on reddit.com
