← Back to Iran casesNegin Allegedly Murdered by Shahram, Mashhad, Iran
Case Summary
On November 29, 2019, Shahram stabbed his wife Negin multiple times in their home in Mashhad, Iran. Shahram had previously been married to Razi, who suffered from an incurable illness. After Razi's illness worsened, Shahram married Negin as a second wife with Razi's reluctant acceptance. After years of living together and having a child, Negin developed kidney disease and the couple faced financial difficulties. Shahram later began a relationship with Sara, a woman he intended to marry. Tensions escalated when Sara accused Shahram of infidelity and family pressures increased. On the night of the incident, after a confrontation involving accusations and a broken phone, Shahram stabbed Negin. He confessed to the crime and was arrested. The court sentenced him to Qisas (retribution), which was upheld by the Supreme Court. The sentence was executed in late 2023 or early 2024 after the plaintiff's family refused to grant forgiveness.
