Victim of child marriage in Iran dies of wounds after self-immolation, human rights groups claim

Soma Moghaddi, 18, died earlier this week in Urmia, Iran, after setting herself on fire 11 days prior in Piranshahr, reportedly due to abuse from her spouse. Iranian media reported Moghaddi suffered burns on 90% of her body, and while rumors suggest her husband's involvement, judiciary authorities have not commented on the case.
