16-Year-Old Child Bride Murdered by Husband in Eastern Iran Amid Femicide Wave

Yeganeh Hosseinzai, a 16-year-old from Bakharz, Razavi Khorasan, was murdered by her husband, adding to a documented wave of femicide in Iran. The case highlights the failure of legal protections for child brides, as Iranian law permits marriage at 13 for girls. This is a domestic justice and human rights issue with no direct market impact.
