NCRI –\u00a0Secretary of the Iranian regime\u2019s so-called \u2018Assembly of Islamic Revolution\u2019s Educated Women\u2019 claimed that \u201cin hot climate regions, some (girls) may be well prepared to marry at 13 or even lower, and they may fall into corruption unless they get married.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to \u2018Etelate Rooz\u2019 news agency on Sunday December 13, Zahra Sajjadi, Secretary of the regime\u2019s Assembly of Islamic Revolution\u2019s Educated Women, pointed to the attempts made by a number of representatives to amend article 1041 of the Civil Code, and said that \u201cthe efforts made by some MPs seeking to gain religious scholars\u2019 favor for their own programs and plans is basically wrong and futile.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTo determine if a boy or a girl under 13 years of age is not able to get married depends on regional conditions, meaning that in hot climate regions such as Khuzestan and Bandar-e Abbas, you see girls and boys with early puberty, and there are certain conditions there that brings them more capabilities even from an economic point of view. So they are capable of managing their life at a much lower age.\u201d, added Sajjadi.<\/p>\n
She added: \u201csome think they can change clerics\u2019 minds by forming committees or think tanks. They also attempted once before to change clerics\u2019 minds regarding the Stoning punishment to avoid being condemned by international communities. I pointed out at the time that stoning is an issue that is clearly stated in Quran, not something raised by religious scholars. Likewise, what they are saying now that father\u2019s permission should not be regarded as the sufficient requirement for marriage, is exactly the same. These issues are letter of the Quran.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Fars news agency, a member of the cultural commission of the Iranian regime\u2019s parliament had stated last week that \u201cwe are seeking to attract religious scholars for amending article 1041 of the Civil Code on marriage age, so that father\u2019s permission and age requirement are not regarded as the only factors to go ahead with the marriage and that with the amendment of the article, legal authorities be obliged to decide on underage marriage cases and that more supervision be done on registration offices and courts to avoid violations. \u201c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
