In Part I of the “Iranians are Just Like us” series, have a look a this report from the New York Times’, Will Yong, on the increase in Iran’s divorce rates.
Choosing a favorite quote from this article was difficult, but I will have to go with parliamentarian, Gholamreza Asadollahi’s critique of Iranian youth, blaming the rising number of divorces on Iranian youth’s inability to accept “the unseen power of God to solve life’s problems.
