According to Iranian reports media, a man from Tehran strangled his wife during an argument over what he called "family differences".

According to Iranian newspapers, a middle-aged Persian man kills his young wife and hides the body under his child's bed for two days. Then he went to a police station and claimed that his wife had disappeared.

He buried his wife's body in an area in the east of Tehran.

Femicide is a common event in Iran under the rule of Islam and Islamic laws. In most cases, the men face very light sentences that do not fit the type of murder.

In this regard, Shargh newspaper presented the statistics of murders in Iran, especially in the capital of this country, in a report. According to the report: "From May 2021 to the end of May 2023, at least 165 women in Iran have been killed by a male member of their family, 41 of which were in the capital.
