HAIL TO THE IRANIAN
WOMEN'S REVOLUTIONISTS FALLEN FOR FREDOM
against
the supreme leader, the arch-reactionary Ayatollah Ali Khomeini,
and his placeman president. The message of
the women when the former president visited a university was plain: <give way or
get lost> in 2023 and still is.
IN MEMORY OF ASRA PANAHI (16)- JINA MAMINI (22) - NIKA SHAKARAMI (16), SARINA ESMAILZADEH (16) HADIS NAJAFI (20), AND MORE WOMEN WHO WERE ASSASINATED SO
FAR BY THE IRANIAN AXIS OF EVIL.

Blind love
Iranwire - September 26, 2024 - by Shohreh Mehrnami
Blind Love in the Time of Economic Crisis
Iran's efforts to encourage marriage have met with limited success, as
the number of marriages continues to decline. Despite offering financial
incentives, housing support, and cultural programs, the Islamic
Republic's policies have failed to reverse the downward trend. According
to the National Organization for Civil Registration of Iran, the number
of marriages decreased by 1.5 percent in the past six months compared to
the same period last year. This decline is part of a broader trend, with
marriage rates in 2023 falling by nearly 39.5 percent compared to 2013.
Over the past two decades, the Islamic Republic has implemented various
strategies to promote marriage and increase the fertility rate, as
emphasized by the country's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. These measures
include discontinuing family planning education, restricting access to
contraception, banning vasectomies, and increasing penalties for
abortion. As these policies proved ineffective, the authorities have
turned to more informal methods to boost marriage rates. They include
the creation of matchmaking websites and channels on platforms like Ita,
where users can find potential spouses. The Iranian government
established its first matchmaking center in 2015, supported by the
Islamic Development Organization and the Imam Khomeini Relief
Foundation. Tebyan Cultural Institute also launched a similar system in
Qom. Initially piloted in Tehran, the internet-based matchmaking
platform expanded nationwide. By March 2022, there were 40 licensed
matchmaking institutions. The 2021 Family and Youth Protection Law
accelerated their growth. Under Article 37, centers require approval
from the Islamic Development Organization and a license from the
Ministry of Sports and Youth. The law mandates the Islamic Development
Organization to promote marriage through cultural institutions, mosques,
clerics, and public platforms, emphasizing family involvement and
adherence to legal and Sharia standards. In just one year, the number of
matchmaking centers tripled to 120. As of September 2024, there were 174
centers, a five-fold increase since the Family and Youth Protection
law's approval.
A Modern Business of Love
Iranian matchmaking centers operate on a detailed registration process,
involving extensive personal information and careful matching. To
register, individuals must provide detailed personal information,
including parental occupations, religious views, and personal habits or
hygiene routines. They also disclose standard details like age, weight,
height, income, and religion. Preferences for a potential match, such as
clothing style, age, education, and religious practices, are also
required. Registration necessitates scanned copies of birth
certificates, national ID cards, educational certificates, and a utility
bill. Once registered, a team of experts reviews profiles to find
suitable matches. If a match is identified, both parties undergo
personality tests before a face-to-face introduction, typically
involving families. According to Mohammad Marvar, Secretary of the
Qualification Review Council of the Matchmaking Centers at the Islamic
Development Organization, the centers are authorized to charge 150,000
tomans ($2.5) for registration, with an additional fee of 50,000 tomans
(less than $1) for each potential match, whether identified through
artificial intelligence or traditional methods. In an interview with
ISNA news agency, Marvar revealed that many individuals responsible for
matching applicants are the same trusted locals who historically acted
as marriage intermediaries in their communities. These individuals now
work within the framework of these formal matchmaking centers. While
these centers operate with official licenses, there are also unofficial
initiatives aimed at increasing the marriage rate, including programs
like <Islamic Blind Date.>
Blind Date, Islamic-Style
In the final months of last year, Iran witnessed a surge in popularity
for a unique dating show broadcast on Instagram, titled <Blind Date.>
The format, which involves a man and a woman sitting on opposite sides
of a wall and answering questions about themselves, quickly garnered a
massive following. The young host of the show, known as <Viny,> amassed
over 1.2 million followers before his account was shut down by Iranian
authorities in March. Despite the ban, his videos remain accessible on
YouTube. Many participants in the series also had their accounts
deactivated, leading to an Islamic version of the show on YouTube where
participants discuss topics such as dowry expectations, women's rights
to work, and preferred pilgrimage destinations. In this adaptation, men
and women see each other from the beginning and engage in conversations
adhering to the standards of the Islamic Republic, guided by a presenter
who emphasizes traditional gender roles and religious teachings.
Traditional Values Meet Modern Technology
The rising popularity of online matchmaking in Iran is evident in the
numerous channels and groups on messaging platforms like Ita. With over
30 million users, Ita hosts hundreds of communities. Of these, over 470
channels and groups are dedicated to matchmaking. Some of these channels
feature profiles of individuals seeking a match, often focusing
primarily on appearance and material possessions. In these channels,
volunteers may publicly share their phone numbers, allowing direct
contact without the involvement of intermediaries, psychological
assessments, or registration fees. Among the matchmaking channels on Ita,
there are those where participants express their beliefs about religious
and political matters, such as adherence to the concept of Velayat-e
Faqih (the Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist) and willingness for
martyrdom. Participants also specify their preferred type of marriage,
whether temporary or permanent. While official matchmaking centers are
not authorized to facilitate temporary marriages, as stated by the
secretary of the Islamic Development Organization, these unions are
frequently discussed and promoted on Ita.
Economic Barriers to Marriage
Iran's economic woes are taking a toll on its marriage rates, according
to a recent report by the Parliament Research Center. The report
highlights the high living costs, housing, unemployment, and a bleak
outlook for the future as the primary factors deterring young people
from tying the knot.
Despite these findings, the Islamic Republic's policymakers have chosen
to prioritize matchmaking initiatives over addressing the underlying
economic challenges. They hope that promoting marriage will
automatically address population concerns.>>
