When a Husband Parades His Wife’s Beheaded Head Down The Street
The tragic case of Mona Heydari
It was in the late afternoon.
The police received a surge of disturbing phone calls.
A man was parading the street holding a knife in his right hand and a bloody severed head in his left. The man smiled, bragged, and happily posed for the cameras.
A news reporter stated,
“Extremely graphic: Gruesome footage has emerged of this Iranian man smiling as he walks along a street clutching the severed head of his seventeen-year-old wife, who was also his cousin after he decapitated her.”
Mona Was Seventeen
Mona Heydari was a seventeen-year-old teenager from Ahvaz, Iran.
She was a beautiful, loving girl.
Mona had a difficult childhood. She never got the chance to be a child or make her own choices.
Her parents married her off to her cousin, Sajjad Heydari, when she was just twelve.
PS. The legal age of marriage in Iran is thirteen for girls and fifteen for boys. But girls younger than thirteen can be given off with approval from their father and a judge.
