The couple was whipped right at home.The couple had committed the crime of attending a home based Christian service.Iran Focus and Farsi Christian News reported:Christian couple were flogged in Iran for participating in an “underground Church”, an Iranian Christian group said in a report on its website earlier this week.The unnamed couple were arrested on September 21, 2005, the report said, adding that a Revolutionary Court reviewed their case in July 2007.Even though the couple had decided to marry seven years ago, the country’s marriage laws – which prohibit the union of ex-Muslims and members of other religious minorities – prevented them from obtaining a certificate of marriage.The report said that the woman was born a Christian in an Assyrian-Iranian family and the man was a convert to Christianity prior to getting married.The court ruled that both the man and the woman were Mortad, a description of someone who has committed apostasy by leaving Islam.The last time the wife was present there to make a signature, one of the agents (who was called Haj Agha, a clergy man) sexually abused her.
