In order to remain ‘virgin’ in Iran, girls have discovered these new ways of sex ?
New Delhi: npnews24 Online – The Islamic Revolution of 1979 freed Iran from the influence of American influence and monarchy, but after that the religious inertia in the country rapidly gained its roots. This religious inertia had the fastest and direct effect on the women there. In Shah’s time, religious restrictions were directly imposed on women and girls seen in western clothes.
These religious restrictions have gradually worsened the conditions of women. The effect of the sanctions got worse. On the top, everything that is going on under strict rules is forbidden in religious rules.
British journalist Ramita Navai has written in her book – Porn and prostitution are among the most common things in the life of Islamic Iran. Ramita Navai writes that the interesting thing is that women are punished with a whip of 100 whips for having an out-of-wedlock relationship and if caught in adultery, then the death penalty is confirmed. The name of this book by Ramita is – City of Lies. In this book, She has written very carefully on issues including sexual freedom of Iranian girls.
Ramita Navai writes that usually due to religious restrictions in Iran, girls follow the rule of staying ‘virgin’ till marriage ‘technically’. Normally, during adolescence, girls have relationships with their close relatives and during this time, care is taken not to disturb the virginity of the girl. Girls take the path of unnatural sex for this. Ramita Navai describes this system that thrives among girls in Iran in a tone accented.
The huge pressure on girls about virginity can be understood by a process prevalent in Iran. La-paee sex (between the legs) is common in Iran among the youth. Many experts believe that this method has been done not just for physical pleasure but to maintain virginity. In contrast to the educational and social openness in Iran, the business of prostitution and trafficking of women is flourishing.
The roots of prostitution and sex trafficking were caught in 2008 by Iran’s General Raza Zarai (Tehran Police) for having several prostitutes in his house. He had kept the harem of prostitutes. Then Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had to face a lot of embarrassment about it. Zarai was accused of taking advantage of his position to help the prostitution business flourish. Although there is a ban on prostitution in Iran, short term relations are allowed through instant marriage or marriage.
However, this religious process has also been questioned many times. It is alleged that Iranian men use this religious rule only for their physical pleasure. Many times a voice has also been raised by Iranian women against this rule. Voices have also been raised on behalf of local people in Iran that this rule is being used to increase prostitution in Iran because it has religious protection.
According to a data of 2016, there are 10 thousand sex workers in Iran. However, according to different figures, their number is up to 80 thousand. Iran is also considered a major center of sex trafficking. Iran is used as a source country for trafficking in women and children. According to the information, a large number of organized groups are involved in these works. Girls between the ages of 13 and 17 are trafficked to sell in another country. Small girls are kept in domestic chores until the smugglers are convinced that they are capable of sex.
According to a report in 2016, the number of Iranian women in the prostitution business in Dubai is increasing rapidly. According to the report, many women and girls have also died due to sex trafficking and harassment in Kurdish region of Sulaymaniyah Iranian girls are supplied in brothels running in this area.
Many officials of Kurdistan Regional Government have been accused of being connected to the brothel. In 2007, the US State Department had placed Iran in the Tier 2 countries category in terms of trafficking. After this, in 2010, Hillary Clinton gave Iran a tier 3 rating, further deteriorating her rating because she believed that the country did not take any steps to overcome a serious problem like trafficking.
