Iran’s Islamic regime refuses to pass a bill stiffening penalties for violence against women

Feb 22, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

This was a foregone conclusion. The Islamic Republic wasn’t going to pass an un-Qur’anic law. The Qur’an teaches that men are superior to women and should beat those from whom they “fear disobedience”: “Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34

“Iran: Regime Refuses to Pass a Bill to Prevent Violence Against Women,” NCRI, February 20, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The Iranian Judiciary has called for the Provision of Security for Women Against Violence (PSW) bill to be fundamentally revised, expressing doubts over whether the heavy punishments stipulated in the bill for violations of women’s rights may actually weaken the family structure, i.e. putting a husband in jail for beating his wife.

Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Eje’ii, first deputy minister and spokesman of the Judiciary, said: “The objective of adopting this bill is to fortify the family environment so that women, spouses and others, would feel secure in every respect. Now, the question is whether the articles contained in the PSW bill provide such security or not.”

He argued that Iran’s general policy is “de-imprisonment”, which begs the question why Iranian prisons are between three and four times capacity, and that the bill advocates imprisonment as a punishment for every “minor violation”, a phrase that should be translated to every act of violence against women.

Eje’ii said: The PSW bill contained numerous problems so much that it could not be reformed. The solution is to draft a totally different bill or to reform the existing bill only in collaboration with the government.”

This ridiculous notion was echoed by the Judiciary’s cultural deputy, Hadi Sadeqi, who argued that it was impossible for the PSW bill to support women if it sent their husbands to jail and described the act of imprisoning domestic abusers as “the greatest blow to women and families”.

He said: “When a woman sends her husband to jail, then that man can never be a husband for her again, and the woman must accept the risk of getting divorced in advance.”…

    In the meantime, eight drones owned by the “exceptional” nation have been hacked and taken over by Iranian revolutionary guards! More of this below:

      Notice that christianblood doesn’t have a word of criticism for Iran upholding violence against women here.

      But why would he? He has refused to condemn child “marriage” and the stoning of women there.

      And he has said that beaten women have no right to ask the police and courts for help, but have to stay silent and protect their abusers.

      Instead, he is crowing over the Mullahs getting one over on the ‘filthy Infidels’. No surprise here…

    I knew an Iranian who does not wear the veil here in Canada … In Iran, she would surely have been imprisoned for that. Sad.

      That is why your Persian acquaintances are in Canada, rather than Iran. The Persian people have surely had enough. The Iranian pressure cooker will eventually explode and the mullahs will be hanged from the lamp posts by an aggrieved populace that now despises them. It will be like the French revolution when it occurs. That will be the end of Shi’ism.

    …………….

    This should not surprise. What is more Islamic than raping children and beating women? *Ugh*.

    IRAN vs dogs and women.

    Irshad Manji really should make Iran a focus of her ire and irony.

    She has written a book about dog wisdom, if only it can apply to humanity.
