Cristiano Ronaldo faces a delicate situation in Iran where he risks being sentenced to 99 lashes by the local courts.
On September 19, Cristiano Ronaldo was in Iran, where with his club Al-Nassr, the Portuguese striker faced the local club Persepolis as part of the Asian Champions League. During his short stay in the country of the Revolutionary Guards, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner met the painter Fatemeh Hamami, who is 85% paralyzed.
During this meeting, the young woman gave him two of her works, a gesture to which Ronaldo responded with a hug and a kiss on the cheek as a sign of affection and gratitude.

However, in Iran, this gesture of affection towards an unmarried woman is considered an act of adultery, which is strictly prohibited under Iranian law. This affair therefore sparks great controversy and raises questions about cultural differences and social norms between countries.
The Spanish daily Marca reveals that Iranian lawyers have filed a complaint against CR7, believing that he has committed adultery. Justice could therefore punish Ronaldo with 99 lashes. The sentence could, however, be annulled if CR7 acts of repentance.
It must be said that in Iran, the authorities are very strict on the laws and customs of the country. Recently, an Iranian weightlifter was suspended for life by the Islamic republic after shaking hands with an Israeli competitor at an event in Poland.
