Soraya Manutchehri
Soraya Manutchehri (c.1951 – 15 August 1986) was a 35-year-old woman who was stoned to death in the small village of Kuhpayeh, Iran, after being allegedly convicted of adultery.[citation needed] However there has been no real investigation whether such person really existed.[citation needed]
Unnamed witnesses have claimed that her husband, Ghorban-Ali, a prison guard with a petty criminal past, was eager to get rid of her in order to marry a 14-year-old girl. Not wanting to support two families, nor return Soraya's dowry, he therefore spread false rumours of her adultery.
Her death was the subject of a 1990 book, La Femme Lapidée, by Freidoune Sahebjam. The book was later adapted as the film The Stoning of Soraya M..
