The first Muslim country to ban the hijab (and fine women who wear it)

In the bazaar of Khuyand, the second largest city in Tajikistan, until May of last year, women walked around with hijabs and abayas, others in European clothing with their hair uncovered, and others with scarves tied at the nape of their necks and colorful tunics. Now, however, one of these garments has been banned. In a country with over 90% Muslim population, one might think the state has banned uncovering their hair . But no. In Tajikistan, which is constitutionally secular, the fined woman is the one wearing a hijab.
