On December 10, 2023, in Tehran, a 51-year-old man killed his 21-year-old daughter because she intended to live independently. Motivated by alleged honor concerns, he confessed to the crime and surrendered himself to the nearby police station afterward.
The suspect disclosed that his daughter had previously entered a marriage contract with another man, leading to conflicts and eventual separation. Subsequently, she chose to live a single life eight months ago, a decision vehemently opposed by the father due to societal judgment and fears.
