Teen Girl Who Alleged Rape by Brother-in-law, Abuse by Husband, Executed After 'Grossly Unfair Trial
Source: Newsweek
Amnesty International condemned the execution of a woman in Iran who was convicted of stabbing her husband to death after enduring years of abuse at his hands.
Zeinab Sekaanvand, 24, was 15 when she married her husband and was jailed at age 17 for stabbing him to death after a confession that she later retracted. She said she had been tortured and interrogated with no lawyer present.
She said she had been abused by her husband and raped several times by her brother-in-law, who told her that if she accepted responsibility, he could pardon her, which is accepted under Islamic law.
Despite retracting her statement, the judge refused to order another inquiry, and she was sentenced to death. She was executed on Tuesday morning in Uremieh central prison, West Azerbaijan province.

She is beyond pain.
As for the rest, may their suffering be endless.
I hear you about humanity.

Poor young woman in that society. And the West has experienced similar cruelties unfortunately.
This made me think of Thomas Hardy's novel that he supposedly based on his experience witnessing the hanging of a woman in England who had struck or offended her husband. Can't recall the name, somebody will know it.
"...if she accepted responsibility, he could pardon her, which is accepted under Islamic law."
Holy Hell! The ME spawned horrendous misogyny. Religion. 
But I'm sure a Christian Theocracy would be much better. Evangelicals are pushing for it here.
