Hadi, aged 62, killed his wife Mahvash, aged 60, in their home in Mashhad after nearly 40 years of marriage. The murder followed a conflict triggered by Hadi's extramarital affair with a 23-year-old woman named Tina, introduced by a friend Siavash. Siavash later blackmailed Hadi with videos of the affair, which were shown to Mahvash, leading to a divorce demand and a physical altercation culminating in the stabbing. Hadi turned himself in, confessed, and was sentenced to retribution but later released after asset transfer to his children. Tina and Siavash were acquitted due to lack of evidence.

خیانت مرد ۶۲ ساله ی مشهدی به زنش با یه دختر ۲۳ ساله| پرونده جنایی ایرانی
Infidelity
The case involves a long-term arranged marriage characterized by coldness and lack of intimacy, leading to the husband's extramarital affair. The affair was facilitated by a friend who later exploited the situation for financial gain, triggering a violent escalation resulting in homicide. Family pressure, financial issues, and betrayal contributed to the conflict.
Hadi confessed to the murder and implicated Tina and Siavash in conspiracy, but evidence was insufficient to convict them. Tina's temporary marriage contract exempted her from illicit relations charges. Hadi was sentenced to retribution but released after asset transfer to children. Police investigation included crime scene analysis and confessions.
Uncertainty existed regarding the conspiracy between Tina and Siavash due to lack of physical evidence. The exact role of third parties in provoking the homicide remained unclear.
Hadi and Mahvash's arranged marriage lasted about 40 years with a cold relationship. Hadi developed a friendship and then affair with Tina, introduced by Siavash. Siavash blackmailed Hadi with videos of the affair, which were shown to Mahvash, leading to divorce demands and a physical fight. Hadi stabbed Mahvash multiple times and surrendered to police. Subsequent legal proceedings led to Hadi's conviction and release after asset transfer.
High risk due to prolonged marital dissatisfaction, secret affair, financial exploitation, and escalating conflict culminating in lethal violence.
Long-term marital coldness and lack of intimacy can contribute to extramarital affairs. Third-party manipulation and blackmail can escalate conflicts. Financial and emotional betrayals are significant risk factors for domestic violence homicide.
The husband's growing emotional distance, secret affair, and the introduction of a younger partner were key early signals.
Videos of the affair, the wife's cold behavior, and the husband's confession helped connect the case.
Confession by Hadi, crime scene analysis, and police investigation were strongest; videos and photos mentioned were not recovered.
Not reported.
Follow-up reports clarified the acquittal of Tina and Siavash and the eventual release of Hadi after asset transfer.
The extent of conspiracy between Tina and Siavash and the full details of their involvement remain unclear.
