Lmao radfem tumblr can be so crazy sometimes. Why do we have to feel sorry for that Iranian scumbag? If she did that to me I would fo 10x worse than just be honest with her parents.

Well first off, your racism and misogyny are palpable.
You're not going to read this, but I'm using your ask as an opportunity to say a few things.
Misogynistic violence is never justice.
I don't ever condone cheating, but her cheating couldn't ever merit his fully-aware weaponization of her misogynistic religious family against her.
Did you really expect me to say "yeah actually, women who cheat on their boyfriends deserve to be stripped of their freedom, their autonomy, their access to education, their independence, their friends, their home, their future, and possibly their lives"?
Her family isn't punishing her for cheating, they're punishing her for being a disobedient female whose choices about/for herself defy their control and fail to fulfill her "duty" of prioritizing her value to her family (her value in their eyes being her marriageable chastity, her fidelity, her modesty, her dutifulness, her submissiveness). The boyfriend (and anon apparently) didn't see any problem with throwing her back into a nigh-inescapable life in which she is treated as less than a full person, as property, on the basis of her sex... and saying she deserved it as "the consequences of her actions" (per the last line of the post).
I will never celebrate the use of misogyny to punish a woman even when I strongly condemn the woman's actions.
Cheating women, misogynistic women, violent women, even the absolute worst and most condemnable women ever ā they deserve consequences for their transgressions, but those consequences should punish those transgressions rather than using the transgressions as an excuse to punish the sin of being female. Abortion-clinic-bombing women don't deserve forcible impregnation, sadistic homicidal women don't deserve FGM, violently bigoted women don't deserve rape, animal-torturing women don't deserve to be made into revenge porn. They unambiguously deserve to face justice and receive appropriate punishments for their crimes, but punishing them by weaponizing their female bodies and sexist cultures against them is simply condoning bigotry conditionally.
No woman, even an evil woman, deserves misogyny. No person of colour, even an evil person of colour, deserves racism. No gay person, even an evil gay person, deserves homophobia.
A cheating woman isn't in the right. I personally find cheating indefensible. I've been cheated on. It fucking sucks. I think cheaters of either sex deserve the social repercussions that come as the consequence of breaking others' trust, of betraying commitment, of knowingly hurting someone you supposedly care about. But misogyny isn't a form of karma.
