Iranian to pay 10,000-year alimony


TEHRAN - An Iranian man has been ordered by a divorce court to pay his
ex-wife one gold coin a month in alimony for the next 10,000 years.

Under Iran's marriage law couples sign a pre-marital agreement where
the bride must stipulate the level of compensation they can demand
during the marriage or in the event of separation and divorce.

In this case the Tehran woman - who was not named - had asked for 15
million dollars worth of gold coins, the governmental Iran newspaper
said.

The court ruled that the husband should pay her the coins in single
monthly instalments, meaning his debt will stay with him for 10,333
years.
