WOMAN HANGED IN IRAN
Iran has hanged a woman for temporary marriage killing.
Shahla had been a 'temporary wife' of Nasser Mohammad Khani, a former striker for the Iranian national football team. She was found guilty of murdering his 'permanent' wife.
She was hanged in jail. She 'had stool kicked away by his son' in gruesome Tehran jail execution.
This is so shocking. The young son hanged his step mother for killing his real mother.
In Iran, men and women can marry for an agreed period of time. Afterwards, the marriage is null and void, although it can be renewed, or its time limit extended for expanded enjoyment. There is an obligation for both to look after any offspring. Men can have up to four permanent wives, and any number of temporary wives.
Girls are taken as legitimate wives for a night or a week or any length of time. When the time expires so does marriage. Both go their way. Shia Muslims believe that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) once allowed this type marriage to his followers in Mecca and Medina. Hadith and history books contain evidence that this did happen. Iran still continues to practice it. Government helps men and women find a brief partner.
Is that crazy, or is that crazy!!

Iran hangs woman for murdering love rival
(AFP) – 1/12/2010
TEHRAN — Iran on Wednesday hanged a woman convicted of murdering a love rival, her lawyer told the official IRNA news agency.
Shahla Jahed was hanged at 5:00 am (01:30 GMT) after the verdict was confirmed by the supreme court and the judiciary chief, lawyer Abdolsamad Khoramshahi said.
The London-based rights group Amnesty International on Tuesday called on Iran to halt Jahed's execution, saying "there are good reasons to suggest that she may have been wrongly convicted."
Jahed, who had a so-called "temporary" marriage with Nasser Mohammad Khani, a former striker for the Iranian national team, was convicted of stabbing to death his "permanent" wife eight years ago.
In the Shiite faith that is the majority religion in Iran, men and women can marry for an agreed period of time. Afterwards, the marriage is null and void, although it can be renewed.
Men can have up to four permanent wives, and any number of temporary wives. Women can only be married to one man at a time.
Amnesty said that in early 2008 the judiciary overturned the verdict and ordered a fresh investigation, citing "procedural flaws." However, Jahed was again sentenced to death in February 2009.
Khani was a prominent Iranian footballer in the 1980s and late became a coach for Tehran's Persepolis football club.
The execution is the 146th so far this year, according to an AFP count based on media reports. At least 270 people were executed in 2009.
The Islamic republic says the death penalty is essential to maintain law and order and is applied only after exhaustive judicial proceedings.
Murder, rape, armed robbery, drug trafficking and adultery are all punishable by death in Iran.
Jealousy is a big evil and can lead to bad things - like in this case to murder (though some will argue the admission was forced).

nothing like honour killing. he carried out the court vredict as was his right.
and you can ask but was the person REALLY guilty about all cases in all courts... does not mean it is a valid question, just from what I have seen a common ruse used by campaigners against the death penalty.

According to Islam, the next of kin can forgive if he wants.
In this case, the young son told the Tehran Supreme Court he wants to hang his step mother. Obviously he loved his real mother too much.
The husband of the victim wanted to forgive Shahla for the murder, but he is was overruled by his own son.
At dawn 5am local time, the son pulled the stool on which Shahla Jaheed stood with rope around her neck. She was left dangling till she died. The husband was watching her cry to the end. It was a horrific scene in Tehran jail.
Ayatollah rightly named America as "Great Satan".
