Under the Islamic fundamentalist regime in Iran, where child marriage is officially approved by state authorities, a 16-year-old boy in the city of Kashmar (northeastern Iran) simultaneously married two girls of his age.
The teenage boy had already married his cousin when he fell in love with another girl. Then he married the second girl as sanctioned by the law, and became polygamous.
Polygamy is allowed by the law in Iran and marriage age is 13 for girls and 15 for boys.

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.
