  1. >She married her cousin at 12, became pregnant when she was 13 and gave birth to a boy. On the day her husband was killed, Kouhkan found him beating her son, then aged five. She called a cousin for help. When he arrived a fight broke out which resulted in the death of her husband. During interrogation, without a lawyer present and under pressure, Kouhkan signed a confession, even though she is illiterate.

    Jesus. The current state of Iran is about as dystopian as it could possibly be.

  2. I expected so much more from the Islamic Republic. Ah well, what’re gonna do!

  4. But if they say so, it’s Sharia, so there’s nothing we can do.

  5. They have massives water shortages but find the time to be evil

  8. Now lets see the argument about -> all cultures are equal and diversity matters.

  10. Where are the college protests, or Hollywood celebs whining?

  12. >When she managed to escape once and ran to her parents’ home, her father told her: “I gave my daughter away in a white dress, the only way you can return [is wrapped in a shroud].”

    >She is unlikely to be allowed contact with her son, now 11, who is being raised by his paternal grandparents.

    People suck

  13. When I think these religious nutcases in Iran cannot get more ridiculous and cruel, they exceed expectations. Very shameful. I suppose they get off on finding excuses to murder girls. Fuck them.

  15. It’s an Islamic nation, how can you expect them to value women or children?

  16. It’s horrifying how the system is designed to fail her at every single turn, from a forced childhood marriage to this impossible choice. The cruelty is truly the point.

  18. Islam is so great I can’t wait for this to be normalised in every country 

  19. All religion should just be banned. Does nothing but cause violence and fighting over fictional books and ridiculous beliefs.

    The fact that in 2025, with how much science and information is available, that people still believe this nonsense so strong that they kill each other over it, is absurd.

  20. this is the reason why I am for any type of government change (even with war) .
    These people need to be free.

    Iran is a failed state.

  21. I think there is a point where things go beyond “culture”. Fuck this shit.

  22. Every time I see another horror story like this I can’t help but think of how everyone (rightly) criticised and boycotted South Africa over apartheid, but the world sits back and lets this stuff happen to women and girls.

  24. Her husband was beating the child and she called a cousin to handle it.

    Sounds real Dukes of Hazzard.

    Oh…also forced into signing a confession though also illiterate.

    Sounds…

  25. Don’t forget that this islamic regime came to power due to an alliance with students, socialist and leftists groups. Of course they were soon disposed of once they had served their purpose.

    Similar alliances can be observed in most Western countries. Why the Left supports Islamism will forever be a mystery to me.

  26. I can’t wait that western civilizations are changed to this.

  34. This is the country tankies idolize as part of the “Axis of Resistance” 

    Never EVER trust a Commie

  35. Iran is not the root of this problem, Islam is. Iran is the hand that holds the knife
