BBC Four's Storyville looks at the plight of ordinary women in the Islamic Republic of Iran - those who are prostitutes, drug addicts, become 'Sighe' for wealthy men, those who are forced to sell their children - and how such activities are reconciled with, and often exacerbated by, Iran's strict Islamic law and image.

  • This is not Islam people, this is called shism. Research the difference.

  • I wonder how Habib would feel if his wife took at lover. If it is okay for him to do it, it should also be okay for the wife to do so. Right?!
