'Hijabs, prayer caps must; 2 metre distance from opposite sex': Pakistan college's rules for Valentines Day

The Islamabad International Medical College has issued guidelines for their male and female students, asking girls to wear hijab and boys to wear white prayer caps while maintaining a distance of two meters from the opposite sex at all times on Valentine’s Day, Friday Times reported.

The college reportedly issued circular forbidding students from partaking in Valentine’s Day and associated “activities which lead the youth towards the wrong path”, the report said.

The protocol states: “All female students should be seen with properly-covered heads, necks and chests with a hijab according to the university dress code. All male students are strictly ordered to wear white prayer caps.”

The circular further warns that twenty staff from the school administration will be patrolling the campus to catch Valentine’s Day violations. Those violating these rules would be fined PKR 5,000, the report said, quoting the college circular.

Valentine’s Day, also called Saint Valentine’s Day, is celebrated annually on February 14.
