"Iranian feminists ardently oppose sigheh.

Many of those activists took to the streets after his contested reelection the following June." ... "She was also disappointed by her girlfriends' reaction. "They think it's cheap," she said." ...""Being boyfriend and girlfriend is much fancier than sigheh." Let me guess, the boyfriends get no sex for 3 years, I'm sure it is fancier. They could teach western woman a thing or to though. "Drinking alcohol is punishable by 80 lashes or, after repeated offenses, death. The officer eyed the couple suspiciously, demanding, "Are you married or are you single?" "Tara is my wife," Amir answered calmly, presenting his gold-lettered marriage certificate." I guess a benefit I never even thought about. Police don't care if you get drunk in a country where alcohol is illegal as long as your with your "Wife" http://motherjones.com/politics/2010/03/...iran-islam Just want everyone to know what Iranian feminist are up to. This is why I suspect Iran will one day be ruined.
