Iran spares child bride from death penalty after she pays off family of dead abuser

Goli Koukhan paid the family of her dead abusive husband 10bn tomans in a diyah (blood money) payment to avoid being put to death by the Islamic regime. Goli Koukhan, a child bride and victim of domestic violence, was spared the death penalty in Iran after she was able to raise sufficient diyah (blood money) to compensate the family of her dead husband, UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mai Sato, confirmed on Friday.
