She was 13 when she gave birth to her son. Almost died because her pelvis was so small. Her husband beat her and son. She called her cousin for help to stop him. He incidentally was killed when her cousin tried to stop the abuse now unless she pays £80k blood money they are going to hang her.
Child bride faces execution for death of abusive husband unless she pays £80,000 Goli Koohkan's family has abandoned her, leaving former prison mates to launch a campaign to raise the money by December. Share Article By Lotti OBrien Updated: 03:55 ET, Wed, Nov 5, 03:55 ET, Wed, Nov 5, 2025 2025 portrait placards of people executed by the government of Islamic A child bride, who was impregnated at just 13 years old, faces execution for the murder of her husband unless she raises £80,000 to pay off his family. Goli Koohkan was 12 years old when her parents arranged for her to be married to a cousin. When she turned 18, she was arrested and sentenced to qisas (retribution-in-kind) for involvement in the killing of her husband after years of being trapped in an abusive marriage. Koohkan, who is now 25, was thrown into Gorgan Central Prison in northern Iran. She was sentenced to death by hanging and has so far spent seven years in jail, making her the longest- serving female inmate in the region. An inside source told the Iran Human Rights (IHR) non- profit organisation: "On the day of the murder, her husband had been beating both Koohkan and their young son. "Desperate and helpless, she called his cousin for help. When he arrived, a fight broke out, which ended with her husband being unintentionally killed. "Goli called for an ambulance and told the authorities everything." The fight broke out after Kookhan returned home to find that her husband had beaten up their five- year-old son, it is reported. After the child bride was arrested, her family completely abandoned her. As a result, former prison mates have launched a campaign to raise £80,000 to pay off the husband's family debt. Under Iranian law, the family of the victim can pardon Kookhan in exchange for a 'blood money' payment in cases of murder or bodily harm. "While pregnant, she was forced to do heavy farm and house work and consistently subjected to physical violence at the hands of her husband who also cut her contact with her family and friends." A former cellmate of the victim told IranWire that Kookhan nearly died giving birth to her son. "Her pelvis was too small, so she was afraid, and this became the reason for violence against her," they said. She was reportedly pressured to have more children. Kookhan attempted to escape from the abusive marriage, yet was unsuccessful each time due to her undocumented status - which is common in minority communities - and pressure from her family. She managed to flee once, yet her father home. Last year, at least 31 women were executed, the Metro reported, which is the deadliest year since 2015.

The AFN’s National Chief asked for $367 billion over ten years to build the basics in First Nations communities - clean water, housing, roads and schools.

The only new money in this budget is for water systems: $2.3 billion over three years.

What an incredible shock and loss. @drdagly, you are one of a kind. You always found beauty and kindness at the darkest of times. How many of us did you support and pull through C19? You are a one-of-a-kind human, and there is a massive hole you've leave behind. Rest now friend 💔

A third of boys reported that girls clothing choice "is asking for trouble"

And sexually harassing a girl is fine if you are "joking".

So every single girl has to deal with about 1 out 3 boys they interact with believing this.
THE TIMES Log in Subscribe Home UK World Comment Life & Style Busine Adolescence, starring Ashley Walters and Faye Marsay, explored the destructive impact of social media on teenage relationships ΝΕΤFLIΧ VIA ΑΡ Girls in revealing clothes 'asking for trouble', say third of boys The results of a large survey of Scottish pupils come after a nationwide debate on misogyny sparked by the TV drama Adolescence Girls who wear revealing clothing are "asking for trouble," according to a third of secondary school boys in Scotland. A survey of more than 13,000 pupils aged 11 to 18 has sparked calls for urgent action to address misogynistic attitudes among adolescents - with the results exposing a gulf between the perspectives of male and female teenagers. The research was conducted by academics at the University of Glasgow at schools spread across Scotland. found 24 per cent of boys believed the term "sexual harassment" did not apply if their intention was to joke around. This compared with seven per cent of girls. Half the boys who participated also agreed, or strongly agreed, that "overall, there are more things that boys are better at than girls". This is despite 93 per cent believing both sexes would enjoy "equal opportunities" in their lives. Most boys do not hold these negative views, but there is an urgent need to address the fact that a sizeable minority do," they wrote in a letter to a British Medical Journal publication. Kirstin Mitchell, professor of social sciences and public health at Glasgow University, worked on the study. She stressed that with 13,372 participants, it gave an indication of the "general culture" behind serious incidents of violence against women and girls. She said 33 per cent of boys agreeing or strongly agreeing that skimpy outfits meant girls were asking for trouble was "particularly troubling". "That is the kind of attitude which is underlying when incidents of sexual harassment do happen," she said. "These are the sort of norms that underpin victim blaming."

The fact this wasn't commonly used in this manner until the 19th century.
