It’s a love story like many others but, in this case, the conclusion is really “poetic”: the man is condemned to buy his ex-wife a mountain of poetry books. An Iranian Court has ordered a man to purchase 8100 books worth 700 million Rial (about 50000 ). Four years ago, the couple drafted a premarital agreement on the basis of Islamic law. An abandoned wife usually wants money, real properties or jewellery, but our abandoned wife belongs to an intellectual family and is a poetry lover. Last week another Iranian husband was condemned to give his ex-spouse 124000 red roses. Maybe this stranded wife has a flowers shop or is an American Beauty fan.
