Child bride forced into marriage at 15 hangs after years of abuse 'kills her husband'
An Iranian child bride who was forced into marriage at the age of 15 has been hanged in Iran for killing her husband who abused her for years.
Child bride in Iran
The victim, Samira Sabzian, 29, who had been imprisoned for the past decade, was hanged in the early hours of the morning at Ghezel Hesar Prison in Karaj, Tehran, according to the Norway-based Iran Human Rights Group (IHR).
How it grew
Sabzian was forced to marry her husband at the age of 15. During the marriage, the girl was subjected to domestic violence, her relatives said.
After four years of abuse, the mother of two killed her husband in 2013 when she was 19 and was sent to prison where she spent ten years.
Despite the demands of Britain and the United Nations, …….
On Wednesday, Sabzian was executed by the Iranian regime despite calls from Britain, the United Nations and international human rights groups to spare the child bride.
Sabzian has refused to visit her two children in prison during her incarceration, one of whom was a newborn at the time of her arrest.
But she later met her two children for the first time in ten years in an emotional reunion after learning she would be killed within days.
Sabzian was hanged in the early hours of Wednesday, as rights groups criticized Iran's Sharia-based murder laws, which are based on a principle of 'kesas' (retribution in kind).
What does Iran's penal code say?
According to Iran's penal code, those accused of murder are sentenced to death - regardless of the circumstances surrounding the crime.
The victim's family can choose whether to accept the death penalty or seek financial compensation. But in Sabzian's case, her husband's parents sought the death penalty.
