In Iran, women are subject to public execution by stoning after being convicted for ‘adultery.’

Men can marry non-Islamic women, but women cannot marry non-Islamic men.

There are no laws against domestic abuse.

With little fanfare, a U.N. body has given Iran seats on several entities, including one dealing with women’s empowerment, another with children, a third with narcotics and a fourth with crime prevention and criminal justice.
