Iran: Child Bride Reportedly Faces Execution Without 'Blood Money' Payment

Pro-Iran narrative

Western interference in Iran's internal affairs ignores Sharia principles that over one billion Muslims believe in. Goli Kouhkan's deliberate killing of her husband robbed a family of their provider and a boy of his father, which demands accountability under Iran's qisas law. This Sharia principle ensures equity — execution or blood money compensation, chosen by victims' kin to restore balance. Nonetheless, Tehran is actively striving to restrict the use of capital punishment, aiming to limit it strictly to cases involving the most serious crimes, reflecting efforts to ensure proportional justice.
