Seyed Kamal Heidary, a senior mullah in Iran, said in response to the question: “Are temporary marriages with [Muslim] women and women of other religions allowed?”
“Temporary marriages with [Muslim] women is allowed, but not with dissident women (non-Shiites). Permanent marriages are allowed with dissident women (non-Shiites) on the condition that it does not damage individual religious beliefs.”

We work extensively with Iranian women outside the country and maintain a permanent contact with women inside Iran. The Women’s Committee is actively involved with many women’s rights organizations and NGO’s and the Iranian diaspora.
The committee is a major source of much of the information received from inside Iran with regards to women. Attending UN Human Rights Council meetings and other international or regional conferences on women’s issues and engaging in a relentless battle against the Iranian regime’s misogyny are part of the activities of members and associates of the committee.
