Today, the Guardian Council of the Constitution, Iran's highest ranking legislative entity, passed a bill, which legally allows parents to marry with their adopted children. This law, as an example, allows a man to marry his adopted daughter, while she is almost 13 years old. This barbaric law is violating the basic rights of the children; this law is legalizing the pedophilia within the Iranian society; it is deteriorating the basic norms, values and moral issues in Iran; it is destructing the structure of families and worsening the conditions of millions of women and children in the entire country from different aspects.
The international community should not ignore this barbaric move of the Iranian Regime. In this respect, all authorities, the United Nations, Amnesty International and other human rights organizations around the world should strongly condemn this barbaric bill and with all their capacities and powers force the Iranian Regime to remove this inhuman, unjust and horrific law from its constitution.
This is an outrageous, disgrace, shameful and tragic event not only for the Iranian people but also for all human beings around the world. We should be united and force the Iranian Regime to remove this scandalous law from its constitution.
