Disturbing video shows Iranian man smiling as he carries his teen wife’s head
A shocking video captured an Iranian man grinning as he walked through the streets clutching the severed head of his 17-year-old wife, whom he decapitated in an “honor killing,” according to a report.
The gruesome footage shows Sajjad Heydari strolling through a neighborhood in Ahwaz, a city in the southwestern province of Khuzestan, on Saturday with Mona Heydari’s head in one hand and a blade in the other, East2West News reported.
Mona, who also was Sajjad’s cousin, had been forced to marry him when she was just 12 years old, according to the Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran.
She reportedly suffered domestic abuse but was pressured to stay put for the sake of their 3-year-old son, even though she had expressed her wish to divorce the brute.
The teen did move to Turkey, but returned to Iran after finding it difficult to adapt in a new country. A few days later, Sajjad and his brother allegedly tied her hands and chopped off her head. Her body was dumped before her husband paraded through the streets with her head.
A police official said the motive for the murder was “family differences.” The two men were reportedly arrested, but it remains unclear what they have been charged with.
Abbas Hosseini-Pouya, prosecutor general of Ahvaz, the provincial capital of Khuzestan, said Mona had sent photos of herself to her husband from Turkey that had fueled his “negative emotions,” according to Iran International.
The women’s committee said that “not a week goes by without some form of honor killing making headlines. The clerical regime’s failure to criminalize these murders has led to a catastrophic rise in honor killings.”
“In a report published in 2019, the state-run Sharq daily newspaper wrote that an annual average of 375 to 450 honor killings are recorded in Iran,” the resistance council said.
“The catastrophic rise in honor killings in Iran is rooted in misogyny and the patriarchal culture institutionalized in the laws and society,” the group continued.
“Although the father, brother or husband holds the knife, sickle or rifle, the murders are rooted in the medieval outlook of the ruling regime. The clerical regime’s laws officially denote that woman are second-degree citizens owned by men,” it added. The channel who ran this video were shutdown not long afterwards.

When one reads the Qur’an the men have not committed a crime under the laws of the Islam theocracy. Under the laws of Islam the victim is responsible for what happens to them. Islam is a depraved theocracy and when one reads the Qur’an and learns Islam’s history it becomes obvious. Children and women are the regular victims of Islam.
