Yes, to be specific, according to the Quran women can wear whatever in the presence of "mahram" (close relatives), meaning, parents, grandparents, kids and grandkids iirc.
In Iran, the mahram part is rarely enforced so in practice women can wear whatever inside private homes, no matter the relationship to those present.
Recently, women in Iran are pushing back against the Islamic clothing rules in public and step by step bending the rules. Now, what you actually need to wear vary wildly depending on exactly where in Iran you happen to be. In some parts, typically rich parts of bigger cities, it's in practice tolerated to wear almost western-style clothing at the moment.
I'm tired of this kind of post, as it shows what a minority of society did in the 70's, it also simplifies women rights issues in Iran to simply clothing. Although it is a prominent part, there's much more to it. Things like that in court, a male witness is worth two female witnesses, and men inherit twice as much as women. Rape and sexual harassment is considered the fault of the women for dressing immodestly.
I'm pretty sure the list includes the husband, first and foremost.
But yes, totally agree with the rest. As someone from a somewhat Muslim country, when I see photos like this I just roll my eyes, because they don't mean anything.
Ah yes, of course husband is included, I forgot the obvious one :) oh, and siblings should be included too.
Except in Alabama.
I exhaled uncontrollably.
