An Iranian man who blinded his lover’s husband is to suffer a similar fate in a tit-for-tat sentencing – by having acid poured into his eye.
Iran’s Islamic code allows for ‘an eye-for-an-eye, a tooth-for-a-tooth’ retribution – known as ‘qisas’ – in cases of violent crime.
The convict, named only as Mojtaba, threw acid in the face of his rival Alireza, a taxi driver, after an illicit affair with the victim’s wife, Mojdeh.
