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
163candidates 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.
If you are too ugly people will say all manner of things about you, if you are too beautiful they will still use that to classify you or disqualify, so what do we do? Question for the day.
