The women in the street pull Marji's scarf over her head and threaten to drag her to the committee, the “HQ of the Guardians of the Revolution.” There she would be judged for her Western transgressions. Marjane lies and tells them that her mother is dead and that her stepmother is very cruel and will burn her with an iron or send her to an orphanage if she does not go home. The women believe her, or pretend to, and let her go.
