IRAN. Khuzestan. 2018. Zahra Amiri, 61 years old (left) standing in Chamsoor lands in Khuzestan Province while holding gun. It is really common among Bakhtiari for each person to have their own guns. Each family might have 3 or 4 guns that are mostly for mens. Women can have their own gun after they get married with the approval of their husband and father. Many of them receive their gun as a gift from their husbands right after they give birth to their first son.
Leila borrowed her mother’s gun occasionally.
