Looking for love in Iran | Unreported World

The reporter was more excited than the dating couple.

Ten boyfriends in high school and ten boyfriends in college?... I will be freakin' busy this year, it seems

I live in Tehran and got married at the age of 21 and now I am 38 years old. And I have 2 beautiful daughters. You can get married when you feel responsible and become a man of life, but you must promise to be the best wife and never betray your spouse.

I’m an American and I think they’re right about western society decaying from the lack of morality. However, I think it is incredibly sad if two people that want to be together and form a family cannot because of differences in the family decisions.

Supposedly women in America have 10 boyfriends by college... I'm waiting

What I liked about this documentary is that the reporter didn't try to make them look like stupid or out dated because of how the do things, she was very respectful, I do not agree with the way they do it but I don't make them look stupid

these arrangements where parents has the final decisions based on how many gold coins one party can pay the other is really uncomfortably strange to me.

I’m so happy that Ali and Zahre could get married. May Allah grant them happiness, health and much more love and blessings for their life together ahead. Amin

No money, no honey. Same all over the world.

The US divorce rate is not 93%, it's somewhere in the 50's .

Such a beautiful country with such beautiful inhabitants. Very interesting to view. Zohre & Ali are such a sweet & beautiful couple & i'm so happy that this story had a happy ending. My very best wishes to Zohre & Ali & i hope that thus far, their marriage has been a wonderful & enjoyable journey. May their future be very bright, even bigger & better. Thanks for sharing & my best wishes to all. Much love & Peace to Iran & it's people.

What a respectful reporter.totally love her style of relating to the people.Thanks.

What a respectful reporter. Totally love her style of relating to people.

Im Iranian, I remember that 3 years ago matchmakers came to our university(shahid beheshti university) and promoted the matchmaking website. Btw, families in Iran really do have a big influence on their children’s marriage. I once wanted to get married to a guy that I loved but my family didn’t let us to get married because of different social class. From then on I reject any proposer that my family introduces to me.

I, as an American woman, struggle with much that has been shown on this video, especially when it comes to music. So out of respect, I will not say much more on the subject of music and freedom of speech. However, I will give some advice to the young women who are seeking a soulmate. Finances are very important, but the most important is to find a good man who has morals. Sometimes you have to deal with a very difficult personality type, but if he loves you, he has good morals, who won't go and have an affair on you, or hurt you, and he values you as a woman, then you will be in good hands, a rich man who has no values is worthless. There's nothing wrong with the woman being smarter and more educated than her husband. There's nothing wrong with the woman having a degree and her husband does not have a degree. There's something wrong when you choose a man who does not have morals. Although, it is also important that you are able to speak your mind, otherwise, it's a worthless marriage, because a man cannot improve without the words of a woman.

I really love your documentary. You really engaged yourself to that culture and I hope you enjoyed it

10 boyfriends in highschool, And another 10 in college?? I was ripped off...send me those men please and thank you.

the parents make things more difficult, adding extra rules which islam never asks for.

This episode is heartwarming especially for the couple who’s families have agreed on the terms. May they be happily married and love each other for eternity. Very good to learn about marriage practices in Iran, a side I don’t usually get to watch.

I (a woman) have been to Iran twice on business about 10 years ago (from here in the UK). It was interesting to see this programme and I am glad that here in the UK that those of my children (we are Christian) married before having children. In the latest English census we find for the first time presumably for about 1500 years just over half of people are having children without ever marrying. It is a big change. I really don't think 93% of US marriages fail or that most people have relationships intimately with 20 people before marriage. as said on the film Some might have that many, but not all.
