Hey Gals, Check This Out - Iran Has Legal Slavery And Rape Of Prepubescent Girls. They Call It "Temporary Marriage".

Charming:

Even more astonishing, Iran's new Islamic-guided government has established a system of legalized prostitution, through the practice of "sigheh" or "temporary marriages," by which a mullah arranges a "legal union" between a man and a girl (some as young as nine years old) for a fee. The so-called marriage can last anywhere from one hour to 99 years. Under this system, men are free to enter into as many temporary marriages as they so desire, without having any legal obligation or responsibility toward the women and children that they "marry" only to use as sexual objects and slaves.

Not surprisingly, this legalized system of slavery and oppression has led to a growing sex-trafficking industry that is partially operated by government officials and mullahs themselves. The girls who are forced into this system of sexual and economic slavery are typically transported to various countries in the Persian Gulf and are sold to individuals as well as to established brothels. The budding industry of sexual trafficking of Iranian girls has led to growing concerns about the spread of AIDS/HIV and other sexually-transmitted diseases throughout the region.

The feminist group Code Pink runs massive campaigns protesting US pressure on Iran. They consistently seek to undermine that pressure - including violating US travel sanctions, thereby granting legitimacy to the existing regime. And lest you think they're on the side of the women fighting Islamist gender apartheid, they're not:

A.M. Mora y Leon at Publius Pundit catches anti-war extremists Code Pink perverting a photo of brave women in Iran protesting the nation's Islamic leadership before the presidential elections last summer, which the moonbats altered for use on a Code Pink banner to recruit terrorist-enabling women activists.

It's almost like they don't really care about women's rights, and just use their thin leftist excuse as a platform for their anti-war activism. Or, more properly, their pro-war activism - just for the other side.
