WATCH: Iranian Couple Arrested After Marriage Proposal Goes Viral

Darpan News Desk IANS, 11 Mar, 2019 08:41 PM

    A young Iranian couple has been arrested after a marriage proposal in public that was captured on a video clip that went viral on social media.

     

    The police say the pair offended Islamic mores on public decency but were later released on bail.

     

    The video, which spread on social media last Friday, shows the young man standing in a heart-shaped ring of flower petals next to colourful balloons in a mall in the central Iranian city of Arak.

     

    He proposes, and after the young woman says, “yes,” he slips a ring on her finger to cheers from a crowd of onlookers.

     

    The two were not identified. Mostafa Norouzi, deputy police chief in Arak, told the Shahrvand daily that it is unacceptable for the young “to do whatever is common in other places of the world and disregard mores, culture and religion” in Iran.

     

    The pair’s “offence is very clear and there is no need for explanation” about the reason for their arrest, Norouzi added.

     
     
     
     

    The Islamic Republic’s strict rules forbid gender mixing in public.
