Muslim men are allowed up to four legal wives under Islam and any number of temporary wives. Women can only be married to one man at a time.
It’s extraordinarily simple.
The biggest hot-button for progressives is not “pro” anything, it’s anti. America, western civ and by extension Israel.
Any person or group that is also “anti” these will draw their support.
The enemy of their enemy is their friend.
“Contracts with “temporary wives” are a legal way for Iranian men to have mistresses outside marriage, with the agreements lasting from between several hours....”
Interesting. Sounds like legalized prostitution.
So much for Islam’s high morality.
Guess she is lucky she was hanged and not stoned.
Savages.
Why not do something productive and satifying ....like fly fishing or bear hunting.
Murdered a rival woman, tried, convicted, appealed, convicted again, executed. Can’t say I can complain about Iran on this one.
Those kind of woman remind me of killer or serial killer groupies. They are attracted to evil.

I wish other people would understand what you just said. Even in Iran, there will be petty criminals, murderers, etc. And even in the midst of a tyrannical evil government, there will be a few good people who push for justice. If it weren’t true, we still be under the Roman empire or British Empire.
I agree. I’m filing this under the old “even a broken clock...”. adage.
It’s an “honor” thing in Muslim law. The temporary husband attended the hanging, and the stepson got to pull the chair out from under her.
Family males are expected to inflict justice on family females under sharia law. That’s why it’s the father and brothers who cut off their daughter or sister’s head if she is raped—to repair the family honor.
Actually in this case (for once) I’d say it was more of a “justice” thing rather than an honor thing. Not that I’m for letting relatives of murder victims perform executions.
Well, it was a “temporary contract”, so technically, they weren’t adulterers..............
DEAD is DEAD.
Well, I don;t think I would especially enjoy being executed, but I think I’d prefer hanging to stoning and a firing squad to either of them.
Like I said “savages”.
I’ve had a few “Temporary Husbands” my own self.
Technically the temporary wife is more of a Shiite thing. The mosques even provide hookers for when people go on pilgrimages to holy sites there. They have a list of fees for terms, from a few hours to a few days. You pay your money and get a sanctioned Muslim marriage to the hooker, uh, new blushing bride, for that set term.
Seriously, the holier-than-thou imams are the pimps. It’s so sad it’s funny.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of hypocrisy this bad in modern Christianity. The stuff our televangelists pull is downright mundane compared to this.
actually thats how it was done in continental Europe
for centuries.
Germany Austria and former Austrian empire. No drop.
Watch how Czechs executed Kurt Daluege (SS Gruppenfuehrer) by hanging, pretty sure the video is still on U-tube.
It's not about family shame, it's about the victim's survivors getting their share. They hanged a serial killer a few years ago who had raped and killed 20 kids. One of the victims' mothers got to put the noose around his neck before they lifted him by crane.
the holier-than-thou imams are the pimps
I had a temporary wife, once. I was the one who didn’t understand that going into the marriage.
Ouch!
