So, like, when you have zero clue about this part of the world - and can’t even tell Iran, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Afghanistan apart - do you really feel the need to open your mouth? The stuff you’re saying about how people get married in Iran is so stupid that any Iranian who hears it would just be like… jaw on the floor. I don’t know, maybe there’s some media thing out there - but if there is, it’s so rare it made the news, because I’ve never seen a single case myself. Even in the countryside, nobody does marriage that way, let alone in the cities.
Sure, if someone offered me a girl in exchange for a goat, I might go buy one - but unfortunately, the last goat I saw was at the zoo thirty years ago. That’s because we shipped all our goats to the U.S. to teach history, geography, and political science in schools over there, and, well… seems like they’re doing a fantastic job.
