Iran: Child marriages and girl children who become widows

“At least 2,000 girl children in #Iran have undergone repeated miscarriages and will soon become young widows.”

This was announced by Tayyebeh Siavoshi, a member of the mullahs’ parliament (Majlis).

“With the passage of time and problems, these girl children go through child marriages and turn into young widows. Children who are between 13 and 14 years of age become both widows and heads of household,” Siavoshi asserted.
