Report: Iranian Militias Marry, Rape Virgin Prisoners Before Executions

In the Islamic Republic of Iran it is illegal to execute a woman if she is a virgin.

So to solve that problem, members of Iran’s feared Basij militia forcibly marry female virgin prisoners the night before scheduled executions, raping their new “wives” and making it religiously acceptable to execute them, a self-professed member of the paramilitary group said.

The anonymous militiaman told the Jerusalem Post that at age 18 he was “given the ‘honor’ to temporarily marry young girls before they were sentenced to death.”
