Excerpt:
A man who decapitated his wife and paraded her head down the street was sentenced to a mere eight years in prison in Iran. He was spared a tougher sentence after her parents reportedly declined to enact Iran’s Islamic law of retribution.
Mona Heydari, a mother of one, was only 17 when she was pulled from a car outside her family home and murdered in February 2022, according to court proceedings. Her husband Sajjad Heydari, and his brother Heydar, carried out the horrific attack in Ahvaz, the capital of the southwestern Khuzestan Province.
A judiciary spokesman said the leniency of the sentence was due to Mona’s parents having “pardoned” him for the murder rather than seeking retribution.
Mona, who had been married when she was just 12, initially escaped her abusive husband and fled to Turkey with another man, the court was told. Heydari had reportedly refused Mona’s requests for a divorce. Her father, identified as Javid in local reports, eventually tracked her down and persuaded her to return to Iran.
