under Iran's Islamic law only the father of the victim has the right to demand the death sentence.

Now that's a handy law to have around if you want to kill your own kids.

Frankly the whole Islamic legal system is like one big Monty Python skit. Just when you think you've heard the dumbest thing imaginable (until now it was the poor girls fleeing the burning building, but forced by Saud religious police to go back into the flames because they were immodestly dressed!), you read this and one's faith in humanity goes down just a little bit more.

In the immortal words of Darby Crash-- lets have a war, we need the space.

Or he can give away his six-year-old in marriage. I'm pretty sure that's the legal age for girls marrying in Iran. What the hell. Mohammed did it.
