[Original Source Attached] Akbar had a law that any girl without a veil in public will be sent to prostitution
And if a woman was found running about the lanes and bazars of the town, and while so doing either did not veil herself, or allowed herself to become unveiled, or if a woman was worthless and deceitful and quite shameless, she was to go to the quarter of the prostitutes and take up the profession.
