- Mechanism
- Special Rapporteur - Iran
- Date
- Aug 1, 2014
- Full Recommendation
The Government should take immediate steps to address the increasing incidence of early and forced child marriage, in particular by banning child marriage and raising the minimum age for marriage to 18 years, as specified in a number of laws identified in the country's submission to the Committee on the Rights of the Child. He further appeals for efforts to define and criminalize domestic violence and to expand the definition of rape to encompass marital rape to be expedited. He asserts, however, that, while domestic violence is an egregious act, it does not constitute a lethal action required for the application of capital punishment under international law.

- Date
- Mar 1, 2018
- Full Recommendation
The Special Rapporteur further calls on the Government to ratify the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and to amend laws that violate the rights of women, including the rights to freedom of movement and work and the right to be free from discrimination, especially in the workplace and in the hiring process. She urges the Islamic Republic of Iran to protect children born within its jurisdiction by facilitating the ability of women to pass on their citizenship to their sons and daughters, and to amend laws and regulations, including on dress code that infringe upon the rights of women and undermines their dignity. In the light of the high rates of child marriage, which is never in the best interest of the child, the Special Rapporteur reiterates her call upon the Government to take steps to ensure that the minimum age for marriage complies with international standards.
