Throw a Koran down on the ground in Tehran intentionally, and you will be executed summarily. Behead your teenage wife, put a smile on your face and some pep in your step as you parade her head along the public streets, and get about 8 years in the slammer with your own prayer rug, Koran, thazbee [prayer beads] and three squares a day.
Thus was the fate of Sajjad Heidarnava, the husband of 17-year-old Mona Heidari. He killed her back in February 2022 with the help of his brother in the town in Ahvaz, the capital of Khuzestan. There's video showing him prancing about, head-in-hand, smiling while people look on in horror. And all he got was a lousy nickel plus three bullets at most.
Try putting a photo of Mo in your study and invite a buddy to hang out with, and you will be what gets hanged if he turns you into the so called religious authorities.
The family of Mona Heidari had pardoned the killer rather than demanding qesas — Iran's Islamic law of retribution, like blood money, for instance.
"The accused has no right to protest against the verdict and the decision is final," the spokesman said. In fact, he's lucky they didn't ban him from jumping on a houri.

So it looks as if Sajjad likes 'em young. He married Mona when she was 12 and by the time he cut her head off, she was the mother of a three-year-old son.
After Sajjad's misbehavior, human rights defenders called for changes to the law to protect women against domestic violence and to increase the minimum age of marriage for girls, currently set at 13.
Imagine that we even take these people seriously.
