According to a report from the Iranian Statistical Center, in the past year, 15 boys and 25,900 girls under the age of 15 got married. Among them, approximately 1,392 infants were born to mothers under the age of 15, and 6 infants were born to fathers under the age of 15.
Additionally, in the year 1401, 779 cases of divorce were registered for girls under the age of 15.
Marrying under 18 is considered a violation of children's rights, a violation of human rights, and violence against women and girls.
The Iranian regime is not known for its transparency in disclosing statistics related to femicide and child marriages; the actual numbers are expected to be much higher than presented in official reports.

We are pleased to announce the release of our 2023 report, titled "Unveiling the Silenced Voices: Mapping Private and State Sponsored Femicide in Iran." This report sheds light on the harrowing reality of femicide in Iran, where approximately one woman is killed every other day simply for being a woman.
In addition to the full report, we have also prepared a summary of the mid-year report, highlighting key developments and insights from the first half of the year.
