Iranian newspapers said that a court has sentenced a man who blinded a woman with acid also to be blinded with acid under the country's Islamic law.
Thursday's reports in several newspapers, including the Kargozaran, said that 27-year-old Majid confessed to attacking Ameneh Bahrami in 2004 to dissuade anyone from marrying the woman he loved.
Wednesday's ruling was issued based on the Islamic law system of "qisas," or eye for an eye retribution.
The reports said that Ameneh asked the court to sentence Majid, who was only identified by his first name, to be blinded by acid to prevent similar attacks on other women.
Majid will be allowed to appeal the verdict.
