Rezvaneh Aram-Nia, an instructor of religious seminaries and universities, said, “From March to December 2015, one in every four marriages ended up in divorce, and this is worrying.”
“Based on the numbers presented by the Zanjan census, during this period 8,452 marriages and 1,752 divorces were registered,” she said.
“The average age of divorces amongst men in this province is 33 amongst men and 28 amongst women,” Aram-Nia added. (State-run IRNA news agency – February 8, 2016)

We work extensively with Iranian women outside the country and maintain a permanent contact with women inside Iran. The Women’s Committee is actively involved with many women’s rights organizations and NGO’s and the Iranian diaspora.
The committee is a major source of much of the information received from inside Iran with regards to women. Attending UN Human Rights Council meetings and other international or regional conferences on women’s issues and engaging in a relentless battle against the Iranian regime’s misogyny are part of the activities of members and associates of the committee.
