The man who beheaded his wife in Iran has been jailed for 8 years

An Iranian court has sentenced a man who beheaded his 17-year-old wife to eight years in prison.

Court spokesman Masud Setayeshi said that Bar Sajjad Haidari was sentenced to seven and a half years for murder and eight months for torture. The sentence came because Mona's family "forgave" rather than seek revenge.

Last year in Iran's Ahvaz province, husband Sajjad Haidari cut off the head of his housewife Mona and went out with it in his hands. A video of this incident went viral on social media. There is a lot of discussion and criticism about this.
