Looking at her photos she's
definitely pretty but how is she too pretty to be a council woman? 27 year old
architect Nina Siahkali Moradi finished 14th among 163
candidates in a city
council election in Iran but was told a week later that all votes for her were
nullified.
According to The Times of
London, after news spread that Moradi had been elected, religious conservatives
petitioned to have her disqualified because she's 'too attractive.' and would
be a cause of distraction. "We don’t want a catwalk model on the
council," a senior official in Qazvin said.
The review board later claimed Nina was disqualified not
because she was too attractive but because of her 'non-observance of Islamic
codes'. Some who opposed her election said she had only been elected because
she is young and attractive.
A law expert in Qazvin, told Iran Wire that the
review board violated election law with its decision to bar Moradi from taking
a seat.
