TEHRAN (Reuters) - An Iranian man who struck a suicide pact with his new bride over their guilt for having pre-marital sex is being held by police after he backed out on his side of the bargain, judiciary officials said on Sunday.
The couple, who were not named, had been married for just two days when, "due to their guilty consciences for having illicit sexual relations, they decided to kill each other at the same time," the official said.
The man helped to hang his wife but then changed his mind about killing himself and handed himself in to police in the northeastern Khorasan province, the official told the ISNA student news agency.
Pre-marital sex is taboo in the Islamic state where some girls have to go through a virginity test before tying knot.

I love it! I catch my BF doing some evil deed, so one night when we're at home sitting around watching TV, I pull out my Dad's old army Colt and let my BF have it right between the eyes. The police arrive in due course and I say, "Well, you see, officer, we had this mutual suicide pact, only I backed out at the last minute." Yeah, right. The Islamic judge will probably make the man write, "I will not kill my wife" 100 times on the blackboard and send him home.
