Article 638- Anyone in public places and roads who openly commits a harām (sinful) act, in addition to the punishment provided for the act, shall be sentenced to two months’ imprisonment or up to 74 lashes; and if they commit an act that is not punishable but violates public prudency, they shall only be sentenced to ten days to two months’ imprisonment or up to 74 lashes.
Note- Women, who appear in public places and roads without wearing an Islamic hijab, shall be sentenced to ten days to two months’ imprisonment or a fine of fifty thousand to five hundred Rials.
Obviously terrible, but how do they end up at 74? Is there a table for number of words sung without a hijab?

Apparently the sharia court gave her the maximum sentence for a single act.

I am more curious now, lying is haram too but the regime doesn’t punish that with 74 lashes.
I guess it’s just an excuse to segregate and oppress at the end of the day but still, feels like some religious people should debate this sentencing.
Wait, am I reading this wrong? Doesn’t the note mean that hijab crimes aren’t punished with lashing?
It’s based on how butt hurt the men feel after a woman pretends to be a human being.
Is it 74 men, or the average butthurtness per man who was butthurtted?
It’s more of a vibe thing. There’s not any data sheets required.
