Voicing a Negative Opinion
Human beings are wired to speak their minds, and it’s a basic fact that not everyone in a country with millions of people will agree with the policies or decisions of the sitting president. In Iran, if you have a negative opinion, you’re better off just keeping it to yourself. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei may not be insulted in any way, shape or form. If this happens, you are liable to torture, prison or in a severe case, execution.
Finding Love Can Be Hard
If a man can’t find a wife, there is not much he can do, except move back in with his parents. This results in people calling him (and others in the same position) “na-mard”, which translates to “not men”. Way to knock a guy when he’s down, Iranians.
