Riyadh: Saudi women with attractive eyes may be forced to cover them up, Fox News reported.
According to the report the move could mark the latest repressive measure taken against women by the state.
A spokesperson for Saudi Arabia”s Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (CPVPV), Sheikh Motlab al Nabet, said the committee had the right to stop women revealing “tempting” eyes in public.
Women in Saudi Arabia already have to cover their hair, and, in some regions, their faces while in public. If they do not, they face punishments including fines and public floggings.
