Iran has passed a new law that allows men marry their adopted daughters at the age of 13, this act had caused major concern that the country's new president is not as progressive as originally thought. President Hassan Rouhani has been hailed as a new moderate voice in the controversial Middle Eastern government but the approval of the new law shows that the extreme beliefs in the intolerant country have not evaporated.
The law was approved by the Iranian members of parliament and maintains that girls can marry with the permission of their father at the age of 13 and young boys at the age of 15. Hmm! Danger to children as the new law will allow for girls as young as 13 to get married and those younger than that age only require the permission of their fathers to do so.
