Shahla at seven was shunned, sometimes attacked, in the streets by women who wanted her to wear a veil, until Reza Shah abolished it. At the age of fourteen, she gave a speech promoting the freedom of women and their equality with men, following her religion’s order of 1848. After being scorned in her school by Christians, Muslims and her environment for her modernistic lifestyle and Bahai beliefs, Shahla disliked Iranian society. While waiting for her immigration turn, she married a Muslim—a military man and late Shah’s classmate. But he had to resign from military or her father would not give his consent for their marriage. Her husband, after changing a few jobs, accepted a position in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the Protocol Department, where they were frequently invited to foreign embassies and Shah’s palaces. Shahla earned the Mother of the Year award because her son spoke three languages at the age of three. Her husband was assigned as an Iranian Consulate in Baghdad, Iraq. During this time she learned that she had married a womanizer.
