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.
