Iran: Man guilty accused of adultery to be stoned to death

Tehran, 1 Feb.(AKI) - An Iranian music teacher, Abdollah Farivar, has been sentenced to death by stoning, for having relations with one of his students.

Forty-nine year-old Farivar is married with two children.

The family of Farivar, insists that he did not commit adultery, since the teacher signed a timed marriage contract.

A timed marriage contract, or 'Sigheh' means a man and a woman enter into a legally binding, but temporary union, after agreeing on the length of the contract and the amount of compensation to be paid to the woman.

The contract has a background in Shia law and has been used as a measure for curbing prostitution and provides a way around Iran's restrictive laws that prevent pre-marital sexual relations.

The incident reportedly happened in the city of Sari, located in the northern Iran.

The only other incident of a man being stoned to death for the same charge occurred in June 2007, when in the northern city of Tekestan Jafar Kiani was stoned for living over 10 years with a married woman, whom he had two children.
