Dear reader, from here on the 'Woman,

underlinded period to go there. However, when needed a certain
topic will be in yellow meaning it's a link to go that topic and
will open in a new window. If you dissagree about any change feel more than free to let me know what you

Forced Divorce
NCRI - Womens committee - 5 August 2024 - in Articles, in Women's News
<<Forced Divorce: A Tool of Psychological Torture against Iran’s
Political Prisoners
In May 2024, the West Azerbaijan Court of Appeals upheld a family court
ruling that forced Sajjad Shahiri, an activist in the Azerbaijani
National Movement, to divorce his wife. Sajjad, a political prisoner
accused of <propaganda against the regime,> faced significant personal
and professional threats from Iranian intelligence officers during and
after his detention. An informed source explained, "During his
detention, Ministry of Intelligence interrogators repeatedly pressured
Sajjad Shahiri to cooperate. They threatened to disrupt his personal and
professional life if he refused." The source added, "Shortly after
Sajjad's release, his wife's father and brother-one employed by the
Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the other a retired IRGC
member-were influenced by these interrogators to pressure his wife into
seeking a divorce. They prevented Sajjad from meeting his wife, kept him
from seeing his child for extended periods, imposed substantial
financial burdens on him, and ultimately used their influence within the
judiciary to finalize the divorce." While the divorce ruling appears
primarily driven by the wife's family, this incident is not isolated.
Compelling political prisoners or their spouses to forced divorce is a
common method of psychological torture used alongside physical torture
in Iran's prisons under the clerical regime.
Coercion for Release
On July 13, 2024, another case of exploiting political activists'
spouses was reported. Marziyeh Rigikhalis, a detained Baloch woman, had
been arrested on May 30, 2024, in Fazelabad, Golestan province. Despite
nearly two months passing, her fate remains uncertain. Her arrest was
executed without any judicial warrant, storming her parents' home. In a
phone call, Marziyeh informed her family that her release was
conditioned on revealing her husband's whereabouts to the security
forces.
Forced Separation: The Last Resort of Tyrants
Kobra Zaghedoost, detained for participating in the 2009 protests,
endured severe torture for four months in the cells of ward 209 of Evin
Prison, forcing her to make false confessions. She was later transferred
to the general women's ward. She recounted, "In late September, after my
cellmates were moved to the methadone ward, I was taken for
interrogation, where two officers beat me severely, demanding I write
whatever they dictated. They repeatedly beat my husband in front of me
and vice versa to coerce confessions about non-existent offenses." When
these pressures failed, a 50-million-Toman bail was issued for her
release. Despite her father being ready to pay, the prosecutor insisted,
"The bail will only be accepted if Kobra Zaghedoost divorces her
husband, Mostafa Eskandari, who was also a political prisoner." Yahya
Pir Abbasi was the judge for this political prisoner couple's case.
In April 2023, a group of prisoners of conscience in the Central Prison
of Mashhad wrote an open letter to international organizations,
detailing their suffering under the criminal judges Hassan Heydari and
Hadi Mansouri, and the security apparatus. "We Sunni political prisoners
in the notorious 1.6 ward of Vakilabad prison have faced threats of
divorce and rape against us and our families for years." In July 2015,
families of Iranian political prisoners wrote an open letter to the
Iranian people about the judicial system's atrocities, stating, "Parents
are threatened; spouses and children are threatened. Young women are
still advised to divorce their oppressed husbands." In 2014, after the
third arrest of blogger Mehdi Alizadeh Fakhrabadi, the prosecutor told
his wife, "Your husband is an enemy of the state and should not be
married. You must divorce him." The pressure was so intense that she
eventually succumbed to divorce. Examining the cases of nine political
prisoners from Khuzestan, Sistan and Baluchestan, and Kurdistan who were
forced to divorce or faced significant security pressures to end their
marriages during imprisonment revealed that psychological torture
through forced divorce is widespread across Iran. Karim Bervayeh,
arrested in January 2018 in Ahvaz, endured months of solitary
confinement and physical and psychological torture. Denied access to a
lawyer and family visits, he was sentenced to one year in prison and one
year in exile without a fair trial. He recounted, "Interrogators, while
preventing me from contacting my family, threatened my wife, demanding
she divorce me." Habib Deris, Ali Majdam, and other co-defendants,
sentenced to death or lengthy prison terms, endured severe physical and
psychological torture to extract forced confessions during detention. A
former cellmate of Habib Deris and Ali Majdam reported that their wives,
facing beatings and threats, were coerced into divorcing them. These
women were beaten in front of their husbands multiple times in detention
centers. Former political prisoner Soheil Arabi shared in an interview,
"Judge Ali Razini, who upheld and intensified my death sentence on
appeal, told my ex-wife, 'Your husband is a child of Satan. Divorce him
and marry me to taste happiness.'" He mentioned at least four former
cellmates who experienced similar tactics from the regime's security
forces.
False Accusations to Break Protesters
The executioners exploit the prisoner's cultural background to maximize
the impact of this form of torture. A Baloch political prisoner, using
the alias "Meisam," narrated, “From the first interrogation, the
interrogator started cursing my wife, mother, and sister. Constantly, he
claimed my wife was involved with my friends and had videos to prove it,
describing these videos in detail. The constant insults and false
accusations about my wife were much harder to endure than the physical
torture." This former political prisoner noted that a few days after his
arrest, his wife left their home and eventually obtained a divorce in
his absence. "My wife's divorce shattered me. I attempted suicide once
in prison. When I was released, I found out that the interrogator's lies
about my wife had been spread in my hometown. My noble and honorable
wife couldn't bear the accusations and had to move away with her
family."
Violation of Laws by the Judiciary
The existence of political prisoners and prisoners of conscience in Iran
itself is a violation of international human rights laws. However, using
forced divorce as a punishment in political cases is a peculiarity of
the religious dictatorship ruling Iran. In Iran, only men have the
exclusive right to initiate divorce, leaving women without this legal
recourse. Violence against women seeking divorce is frequently ignored
by governmental judges, often resulting in deadly consequences for the
women involved. This is the same regime that deprives Iranian women of
reproductive health services under the guise of population growth and
frames the imposition of mandatory hijab as <supporting the family by
promoting chastity and hijab culture.>
Such deplorable practices stem from the core of clerical ideology. In a
speech on November 16, 1981, Khomeini, the founder of the clerical
regime, declared the preservation of the religious dictatorship as the
highest priority. He wrote, <To preserve Islam, lying is permissible if
necessary.>
This principle has been widely adopted by all elements and affiliates of
this corrupt regime, perpetuating torture, massacres, family
destruction, starvation, war exportation, and countless other atrocities
to sustain a fundamentally anachronistic regime.>>
