Iran: Victim of child marriage,
victim of violence against women
|
With a typical outbreak
of quarrels in such marriages two weeks ago,
the husband beat up the
15-year-old girl and threw her down the third floor's balcony.
She has undergone
surgery for a broken pelvis, broken jaw and a torn-up ear, so far.
The hospital’s cost is
7 million toumans which her father does not afford.
She has been abandoned
in Shariati Hospital with no interventions by the police or any government
agency.
Child marriages are
sanctioned by law in Iran and violence against women is not considered a
crime.
