TEHRAN: Iran on Wednesday hanged a former soccer player's mistress — known as a "temporary wife" — who was convicted of murdering her love rival in a case that captivated the Iranian public for several years.

Shahla Jahed was hanged at dawn, after spending more than eight years in jail for the slaying of the player's wife, the official IRNA news agency reported.

Jahed had become what is known as a "temporary wife" of former soccer star Nasser Mohammad Khani. She was charged in 2002 with stabbing his wife, Laleh Saharkhizan , to death and convicted of murder in 2004 and again in 2009, after her appeal was denied.
Contracts with "temporary wives" are a legal way for Iranian men to have mistresses outside marriage, with the agreements lasting from between several hours to a few years.

Wednesday's death sentence was based on the Islamic law of "qisas" — or eye for an eye retribution.

International human rights groups had campaigned for Jahed's punishment to be halted.

The IRNA report said that just before the hanging at Tehran's Evin prison, the 40-year-old Jahed prayed peacefully, then burst into tears and cries, shouting for her life to be spared.

The victim's son pulled the chair from under her feet as Jahed gasped for breath in the remaining moments of her life, the khabaronline.ir news website said.

First, this shows how hypocritical these "pious" Muslims are.

Secondly, I wonder how she can be "praying peacefully" and then burst into tears and cried for mercy.

Thirdly and finally, to make the victim's son pull the chair. Is the a point to it other than "an eye for an eye", the hallmark of an uncivilised society.

Or they can let her stand on a block of ice, then let the ice melt slowly

I see nothing wrong. You kill someone you get death penalty. Happens in the US too.

The murderer should be happy to see Allah, this eye for an eye execution only applies to Muslims, if victim is infidel then nothing may happened.


I think the lambs they have chopped during rituals on hari raya haji will return to chop them somedays.

Although I did not donate 1 cent when Pakistan was flooded but I wish them well.
