Three Iranian football players are facing jail for kissing a woman fan in the Islamic state where physical contact between unrelated men and women is legally forbidden, an Iranian website reported today.
Under Iran’s Islamic Sharia law, imposed since the 1979 Islamic revolution, violators of the law can be sentenced to lashes, fines or imprisonment.
“The arrest warrants have been issued for the three because of their un-Islamic behaviour,” said the Rajanews website, quoting an unnamed source.
