Iran 🇮🇷

Country District Guide

Iran fundamentally outlaws all non-marital sexual commerce beneath its post-1979 Islamic Penal Code. Any transgression routinely intersects with 'Zina' (adultery/fornication), carrying catastrophic judicial and physical punishments. Astonishingly, an indigenous religious loophole actively facilitates the trade: 'Sigheh', a short-term, temporary marriage contract strictly within Shi'a jurisprudence, is frequently manipulated to bypass absolute federal crackdowns.
