An Iran hard-line cleric claims that women who dress "inappropriately" incite extramarital sex which in turn causes more earthquakes, Telegraph reported on Monday.

Women who snub traditional Islamic clothing to instead wear fashionable clothes and apply heavy make-up, caused youths in the country to "go astray" and have affairs, the hard-line cleric Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi said.

Also, he said as a result the country, bounded by several fault lines, experienced more "calamities" such as earthquakes, the reformist Aftabe Yazd newspaper reported.

The Islamic dress code is mandatory in Iran, which has been under clerical rule for more than three decades.
