According to News Nation USA, Sajjad Heydari and his brother have been arrested for killing Mona Heydari.
He was spotted grinning as he strolled barefoot around the streets of a neighborhood in the city of Ahvaz on Saturday, holding the severed head of his 17-year-old wife in one hand and a machete in the other.
According to the Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, Mona was forced to marry her cousin Sajjad when she was 12 years old. Thus, she was a child bride who was constantly exposed to domestic violence.
However, she was pressured to put up with her husband for the sake of her three-year-old when she asked for a divorce. News sources reported that she had fled to Turkey to escape her brute spouse.
However, she returned from the country after finding it difficult to live alone. Meanwhile, some sources claim that she was brought back by her father and husband.
And, after a few days of her return, Sajjad and his brother tied her hands and chopped off her head. Additionally, Iran International reported that she had sent her photo to her partner from Turkey, which fueled his negative emotions.
Thus, he murdered her after her return, also called honor killing in Iran’s culture.
