Divorce on the rise in Iran, marriages in decline

The head of the Tehran General and Revolutionary Courts, Abbas Pouriyani, has denounced what he refers to as “divorce brokers” and calls on police investigation of their activities.

In an interview with the Shargh daily, Mohammadreza Alizadeh an Iranian lawyer explained that the so-called “divorce brokers are now charging between five million and 40 million toumans to obtain a divorce for couples in the shortest period possible.

He added: “In the case of divorce where both sides are not amenable to the divorce, more time is required and divorce brokers charge higher prices. Also, if women are seeking the divorce, they have to pay more. In cases where both sides are agreeable to a divorce, brokers charge the least.”

The head of the Tehran General and Revolutionary Courts urged the public to assist the judiciary to identify and stop these “brokers”.

The most recent report from Iran’s National Registry reveals that Tehran has the country’s highest divorce rate and that divorces have increased by another 5.5 percent since last year.
