If Iran can't execute virgins, how are 9 year girls legally executed?

How can anyone consider a 9 yr old girl a woman? That is insane! But we are talking about a people that have shown so much insanity in their views.

I don't know about the 9 year old thing and if it has anything to do with the age of consent (and the supposed age of Muhammad's youngest wife) but it does seem that forced marriages (rape) to get around the ban of execution of female does seem to be part of Iranian law. A few sources here:

The so called religion of peace has no age of consent but insists on marriage before sex is allowed. The girl is then the property of the guard and has to obey his command. The girl could be much younger and still receive the same treatment.

Sharia Law is the basis for this tragedy.

It's not PC to criticize Islam though. So it must be caused by the bible clinging Christian rednecks.

its a shame that the girls have to go through two types of execution ,First the rape then the final judgment not fair not fair at all it would be better if the virgins could be executed as they are then they would have something to live for

Interesting & disturbing read!

In the Islamic Republic it is illegal to execute a young woman, regardless of her crime, if she is a virgin, he explained. Therefore a "wedding" ceremony is conducted the night before the execution: The young girl is forced to have sexual intercourse with a prison guard - essentially raped by her "husband."

In the Middle Ages, when almost every crime was punishable by death (usually beheading), they also had a law against executing virgins. The executioner took care of that on the morning of the execution. (But a girl who wasn't menstruating yet was not considered a 'virgin').

This practice ended in a period in European history we call The Enlightenment. One of the major differences between Islam and Christianity is that Islam never had an enlightenment. Many Islamic customs and beliefs and values are the same as were in place in Europe up until the 17th century.

I've traveled quite a lot and frankly I'd take anything the Western media says about non-Western nations with a grain of salt.

What they say about the USA in their own countries is also motivated by politics. The world outside our countries is not as ugly as the media paints it.

I'd recommend you to actually travel and see how things truly are.

I would really love to see Israel, bomb Iran back to prehistoric times.

Women are executed in Iran if they are raped.

I guess they make sure they aren't virgins. This is the kind, gentle culture that Obama is apologizing to for the horrible United States.
