Politics

Fatemeh Ajorlou has criticised the practice of "temporary marriages" despite support for them from interior minister, Mostafa Pour Mohammadi.[5] She has said Iran’s 70-year-old Civil Code creates problems for the female population. She supported establishment of counseling centers in family courts to provide people with legal and cultural advice, and to help reduce the divorce rate.[2]

In 2004, she addressed a two-day World Summit to Support Children's Rights in Rome, expressing opposition to abortion and supporting children's rights, particularly in occupied countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine.[6]

gollark: Well, if the configuration is too similar, then it might be too similar to configuration files used by IRC networks in apiospace. Now, of course, most apiospatial information is highly cognitometaapiohyperhazardous, so it would be bad if it entered normal IRC networks.
