During the past few days, a middle-aged woman was set on fire by her husband in Tehran and died of her injuries after being transferred to a medical center. According to Etemad Online, a middle-aged woman died a day after being transferred to a medical center due to severe burns.

Due to the woman's unstable condition, she told the medical staff, "My husband held a gasoline canister, and after getting out, he told me, 'Let's solve our problems and get divorced.'" I told him I had no problems. He took out a bottle and sprayed its contents towards me. At first, I thought it was acid, but it smelled like gasoline. Afterward, he set me on fire."

The victim's husband was detained a few days later and confessed to the murder of his wife, citing family disputes as the reason.
