According to the report, the man who is identified as Majid, is convicted of pouring acid on the face of Ameneh (27), a girl with whom he allegedly wished to marry. Majid said in the court that "Ameneh denied marrying him, and he thought by committing the offence she could be his for ever!"
As a result of the injuries she lost the sight on one eye and most of the sight on the other eye.
