It follows years in which Iranian women students have outperformed men, a trend at odds with the traditional male-dominated outlook of the country's religious leaders. Women outnumbered men by three to two in passing this year's university entrance exam.
So instead of celebrating that more of their women are getting higher education, they decide to restrict women instead.Iran has highest ratio of female to male undergraduates in the world, according to UNESCO. Female students have become prominent in traditionally male-dominated courses like applied physics and some engineering disciplines.



La ilaha illa lah, your telling me the Prophet wants women to work in fields where men and women intermix, which is haram, please don't make statements like these as you will regret them. How many ahaadith and athaar I can bring you of the Prophet advising women to stay home, from the MASJID let alone a place of fitan like the workplace. Do you think us muslim men enjoy working with these dirty kaafiras and shaking their hands let alone muslim women! The concept of females working merely for economic independency has no basis in the Shari?ah. In fact, it is a root of many evils. It is this economic independency in a woman that gives her the courage to break her marital home. Consider the marital breakdown in the US (4-5) due to woman independency. If she was dependant, or her husband, she would exercise restraint and maintain her marriage. That is best in the interest of her family, husband and children. It does not mean that a woman should be dependant on men merely to maintain her marriage.
