On June 27th, Ariana Lashkari, a 16-year-old Iranian girl, was murdered for bringing "disgrace" to the family after she was allegedly seen laughing with a boy at a park. Ariana wanted to live without restrictions and fled to her paternal grandmother's home after a heated argument with her father. The father, Mohammad-Kazem Lashkari, took a shotgun with him and went to his mother's house to look for Ariana. When he arrived, he became enraged and shot his daughter in the chest. He contended that it was not his intention to kill his daughter. Murders committed by fathers and paternal grandfathers in Iran are not punishable with retributive justice or "Qisas" under the Islamic Penal Code, as Iranian law considers him to be the "owner" of the victim's blood. If demanded by the family, perpetrators may only be sentenced to three to ten years in prison and pay blood money. Since the pandemic outbreak, honor killings have increased in different regions of Iran. According to the head of Reyhaneh Women's NGO, about 60 women have been victims of honor killings in Iran over the last two years, including some victims as young as ten years old.
