It came a day after the country’s attorney general said the parliament and the judiciary were reviewing legislation requiring a head covering.
“Both parliament and the judiciary are working (on the issue)” and results will be presented “in a week or two”,said Mohammad Jafar Montazeri
The headscarf became obligatory for all women in Iran in April 1983,four years after the Islamic Revolution that overthrew the US-backed monarchy.
It remains a highly sensitive issue in a country where conservatives insist it should be compulsory,while reformists want to leave it up to individual choice.
The hijab has been the subject of daily protests since the death of Mahsa Amini in custody in September after she was reportedly arrested for wearing her headscarf incorrectly.
According to human rights groups,more than 460 people,including 50 children,have been killed by security forces.
