Farmanieh Club
According to an anonymous writer 68% of the marriages that took place in Farmanieh Club (one the famous and expensive club, chamber, hall, arena! In Tehran, Iran) would have ended up to divorce in less than a year.

As you may know, before marriage Iranians do not officially be with each other; however, they might be together unofficially and under grand. Under grand, means they will go travel together, the stay some nights together, the make love, and so more. They might lied to their families and do these. Iranian marries together, and after they live together. This trend is usual in many eastern countries which could included whole the world expect the continent of America and some few European countries.


Furthermore, Farmanieh Club is a place for any kind of ceremonies mainly marriage, which women and men have to sit separately in different areas. Therefore, it can be inferred the individuals who rent it for a night and pay US $ 150.000, is more likely to be rich and religious.
According to the report, during the last year up to 350 ceremonies, anniversary, celebrations, marriage took place there. It is worth to say that some of the recognized athletes and top positioned person celebrate there. The report also has a glance to the too high amount of the promises that groom promised to the bride.

This promise is a tradition of Iranians that the groom promises some valuable things (mainly gold coins) to bride before they married, and after deal accepted they will marry. Bride may ask for it after marriage whenever she wants, and by law groom has to pay it. I should add one more thing, this promise is in addition to the half of their properties that groom should sign on the contract on the time of the marriage. The mentioned promise and the half of the properties might caused some divorce in the now days life of young Iranians couple, moreover it make marriages harder. Until 2007 the amount of the promises even would be more than 2000 gold coins (each coin now is $ 220). However, not all people follow the high rank of promises; girls are likely to have higher promises.

The report also added the approximate total price of all invited people’s cars in one of the ceremonies in the Farmanieh club, it said approximatly 17 million Dollars.

It appeared funny mean while sad. While the crack between the poor and the rich is so high, is sad. As a brief conclusion, I could say, the money is not all, but it could bring comfortable live. Money cannot provide love. Money even makes your choice harder, because you cannot understand that he/she come for you or your money. On the other hand, you may not let yourself to fall in love with someone who had nothing, or you do not want. Also, the person who is not rich cannot fall in love of a rich person or he does not have dare to do that, because many persons will infer she/he is there because of money.

It is sad, isn’t it?
