Ebadi was one of the victims of this policy, and the clergy banned women from becoming judges. So, Ebadi and other women judges were removed from office and given new duties as clerks in the courts they once headed. This policy shows that the tide of patriarchy is strengthening. Fatimah Mernissi explained in her book The Veil and the Male women’s rights are an issue for modern Muslim men, it is not because of the Qur’an, the Prophet or Islamic tradition, but because of these Male Conflict of Interest.”
Ebadi and her colleagues protested, and the government later promoted a former judge to the role of a Justice Ministry expert. However, Ebadi insisted that the injustice should not be accepted and decided to apply for early retirement. laws were put on hold and replaced by classic Islamic-era laws fraught with prejudice against women (Ebadi: 2016). To defend women’s rights, Ebadi applied to practice as a lawyer. However, the request was not granted until 1992. While awaiting approval, Ebadi used his time to write several books and articles published in journals.
