it's called "a memoir in books". I'm about 10% in and was wondering and (googling too much) if things like age of consent lowered to 9 and Militia "blood of god" ( couldn't really find much online- similar yes but not exact) are factually correct or fictional. i know the characters have been changed enough to protect identities etc. If anyone who keeps up with history/ news or has done research reading the book can enlighten me id appreciato. thanks!
apart from this highly recommend so far!
Also also if you put absolutely factually correct stuff in your memoir and leave the country would they still try to silence you? Like salman rushdie is out here with an eye patch on ?! :/
I guess I'm answering my own questions but would love to have a conversation lol. Thanks!

Sex outside of marriage is illegal in [Iran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran).[^([67])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent_in_Asia#cite_note-67) The minimum age of marriage in Iran is 15 for boys and 13 for girls.[^([68])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent_in_Asia#cite_note-68)[^([69])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent_in_Asia#cite_note-69) Ways around these regulations include temporary marriages ([*Nikah mut’ah*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikah_mut%27ah)).[^([70])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent_in_Asia#cite_note-70) With the permission of a court, girls may marry at a younger age. In 2010, as many as 42,000 children aged between 10 and 14 were married,[^([71])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent_in_Asia#cite_note-71) and 716 girls younger than 10 had wed.[^([72])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent_in_Asia#cite_note-72) Under the Civil Code 2007, marriage “before the age of majority” is prohibited. However the age of majority is 9 lunar years (8 years and 9 months) for girls.
