According to Hamshahri Online, on August 1, 2023, a young man shot his 23-year-old spouse in the chest, resulting in her death in Kian Shahr, Tehran. The victim's mother conveyed to the authorities, "My daughter got married to her cousin several years ago. Their marriage was forced and due to the insistence of the families, which led to constant conflicts and disputes between them."
