http://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/islamic-state-imposes-stricter-dress-code-on-women/3327814.htmlIslamic State has issued new dress codes on women living in its areas in Syria, say local residents and activist groups.
IS is forcing women to wear only black. It punishes women who dont obey, local residents say. IS says any womens clothing that is not black is seductive.
One man living in the eastern Syrian city of Deir Ezzor said IS members arrested him because his wife and mother were wearing colorful clothes.
The resident, Abu Hassan, told the Syrian opposition website All4Syria the women were in their home when religious police drove by and saw their colorful clothes.

control over women to reduce their knowledge of their own insignificance.
