IRAN: Muslim beheads his 17-year-old wife in honor killing, parades her severed head in the street
There has been no effort in Shia Iran to incarcerate a man who beheaded his 17-year-old wife and gruesomely paraded her head in the streets with a smile on his face, as can be seen in photos. For him, it was his religious right to do this, to preserve the “honor” of his family.
Iran’s media actually moved to protect the perpetrator: “Iran’s media watchdog responded quickly and banned Rokna news agency that first released the footage of the killer carrying her wife’s head.”
As “blood owners,” the immediate family members “are allowed to demand execution for the murder of their loved one, therefore most honor killings go unpunished.”
Conditions justifying murder in Islam:
Abdullah (b. Mas’ūd) reported Allah’s Messenger as saying: It is not permissible to take the life of a Muslim who bears testimony (to the fact) that there is no god but Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah, but in one of the three cases: the married adulterer, a life for a life, and the deserter of his Din (Islam), abandoning the community. (Sahih Muslim – Book 16, Hadith 4152)
Sharia-sanctioned wife-beating (cf. Quran 4:34, 38:44) for perceived disobedience and abuse for not covering up (Quran 24:31, 33:59) also shape the views of and behaviors toward women in Islamic societies.
There are also exemptions from punishment for certain kinds of murder in Islam, which provides a basis for honor murder. According to the Sunni Sharia manual Reliance of the Traveler (section o1.2), these are the exemptions……
- A child or insane person, under any circumstances
- A Muslim for killing a non-Muslim ;
- A Jewish or Christian subject of the Islamic state for killing an apostate from Islam
- A father or mother (or their fathers or mothers) for killing their offspring, or offspring’s offspring;
There is no system in place in the West, nor any significant will to understand the truth about cultures and ideologies that do not align with Western standards of human rights. Politically correct individuals who say they advocate for human rights do nothing to help those victims who are in most need, including the victims of savage honor killings. Mainstream Islamic groups operating in the West have advocated for their own religious tenets for a long time, calling justified criticism of these tenets “Islamophobic.” They present their advocacy to the willfully blind as anti-racism. Meanwhile, otherwise notoriously loudmouthed Western feminists are silent in the face of actual cases of female abuse, such as this one.
Reporting on victims of Sharia has gained Jihad Watch the label of “Islamophobic.” The Southern Poverty Law Center and its advocates care nothing about the victims.
Iranian Man Beheads 17-Year-Old Wife In Another Honor Killing
Iran International, February 6, 2022:
In another case of honor killing in Iran, an unnamed young man has beheaded his 17-year-old wife and displayed her head around the streets.
The murder happened in the southwestern city of Ahvaz on Saturday when the young wife was brought back from Turkey, where she had traveled for unknown reasons.
Her father helped the husband, who is his nephew, to bring the woman back to the country.
The husband and his brother, who apparently committed the murder together have been arrested.
Iran’s media watchdog responded quickly and banned Rokna news agency that first released the footage of the killer carrying her wife’s head.
Honor killings are prevalent in some parts of Iran, mostly due to societal beliefs and the Islamic Republic’s lax laws and light sentences that encourage the behavior.
Article 630 of the Constitution exempts a husband from punishment if he kills if he witnesses adultery.
According to a women’s right NGO in Ahvaz, about 60 women have fallen victim to honor killings in the past two years, including some who were 10 or 15 years old. None of the perpetrators have been brought to justice as most of the families haven’t even filed a lawsuit.
The medical journal the Lancet published an article in October 2020, saying at least 8,000 honor killings took place in Iran between 2010 and 2014, but only a few were reported.
According to Sharia law, only the “blood owners” (the immediate family members) are allowed to demand execution for the murder of their loved one, therefore most honor killings go unpunished….

Clearly, Islam is DEMONIC, being of the Devil, Satan, and ALL Muslims are his servants , Biblically Speaking!!!
I can’t sleep just thinking of these babies being killed by men that could be their fathers and grandfathers.
Shame onto the families that have thier babies away to theirs animals, shame onto the community that continues to allow such acts of demonic rituals and culture is not to blame here, these men are spineless cowards that hide behind the “culture”.
Culture should evolve as the environment around it does, humans/ living things evolve yet these demons refuse to evolve, they refuse to grow because they are not of this world.
