Under Iran's take on Islamic Law, it is the relatives of murder victims rather than the state who decide the killer's punishment.
On conviction, families are asked if they want revenge in the form of “qisas” or an “eye-for-an-eye”, or if they want to spare them and receive a sum of “blood money” instead. Forgiveness is also an option, one which is surprisingly popular.
The qisas law becomes even more barbaric when the victims are related or married. In Maryam's case, the only person who could make the decision was her daughter.
A few weeks later, the teen was taken to Rasht Central Prison to kick the chair out from under her own mum's feet, causing her to drop as she was hanged from the rafters.
