In a strange twist of events an affair in Iran ended up leading to the death of the two spouses, while the paramour remains free. Raheleh Zamani came home to find her husband with another woman. The site of seeing the two of them together enraged her. She complained to her husband her then threw her out of their home, and threatened her not to speak of what she had seen. He was displeased with her and did not want her as his wife any longer. She had given him two children and she was no longer of use to him. In her continued rage, she returned and killed him.
Although it was a crime of passion, Iranian authorities executed her by hanging for her actions.
Affairs are dangerous and life-threatening. No matter what country you are in, having an affair is taking your life in your own hands, as her husband discovered. The feelings aroused are not to be toyed with. The feelings are strong. The reactions are intense and quick. Looking at an affair as a simple physical act that is without feeling, and is just as harmless as smoking a cigarette is a mistaken assumption. Once the feelings are aroused, there is little predictability as to what will eventually transpire.
