unmarried couple: Iran Hotels

Iranian law does not allow Iranian unmarried couples to live together. It states people of opposite sex can not to be alone together unless they are family members or married together. But in practice most Iran hotels don’t apply the married couple rules to a non-Muslim and non-Iranian unmarried couple.

When you get in a hotel, mostly no one asks or cares about your relationship status. Actually there is no particular rule prohibiting a foreign unmarried couple from having a single room in Iran hotels, but in the case anyone asks you about your relationship status, it is up to you yourself how to respond, but no proof of marriage  need unless you are Iranian. Especially in luxury hotels, you will feel so relaxed and definitely no problem will occur while booking a room.

But here’s a note, remember that unmarried Persian couples can not to get a room in Iran hotels. So, if you’re married to an Iranian, it’s better to have your marriage certificate and your passports with you as proof of marriage, otherwise you can not check in the hotel. However you can have separated rooms in a hotel.

Public Transport in Iran

In city buses and metros, you will see a ‘women only’ sign indicating the sections particular for women use. Men can not enter these sections, but women can do it in the common section and you may sit together in the other section. In intercity buses to travel between cities like Tehran to Shiraz or Tehran to Isfahan, men and women are mixed, and you can freely sit next to each other without any problem.

 

unmarried couple: Public Conduct

Holding hands is fine for married couples, of course you can also see an Iranian unmarried couple doing so as well, but KISSING or HUGGING and of course DANCING in public are not acceptable and you will seem totally weird if you do so.

As a Couple in the Street

As you are walking in the street it is completely fine to hold your partner’s hand, it is something you will see a lot in Iran. However, you should have in mind that kissing and hugging is not acceptable.

Another thing that is worth mentioning is that Iran’s law does not allow Iranian unmarried couples to live together or check into a hotel. It states people of the opposite sex are not allowed to be alone together unless they are family members or married. Nevertheless, this law is only for Iranians; as mentioned before, non-Iranians can easily check in a hotel and stay in one room.

 

Women only sign

You might see such signs of unmarried couple in public transportation, especially in the metro and bus. As you know, Iran is an Islamic country and touch by the opposite sex is not allowed if you are not related. Besides this, public transportations can get really crowded sometimes, as a result, for women’s comfort, there are metros and buses just for women. There are also taxis just for women which you can see the cars in green with a female driver. All these limitations are considered for women’s safety and comfortability and probably it will be a relief to you if you are traveling as a solo female.

Before coming to Iran, you might find this fabulous country a religious and unsafe country to visit. You can see that this is not true and our country is overwhelmingly welcoming to the tourists who wish to come to Iran. Don’t believe what media shows to you as the real picture of Iran, don’t listen to the people, pack your bags for one of the best trips of your life. You won’t regret it.
