Cristiano Ronaldo, the global football icon, is reportedly facing a bizarre and potentially serious legal issue in Iran. According to reports, Ronaldo could be sentenced to 100 lashes due to an alleged act of adultery. The incident stems from a visit in 2023 where Ronaldo kissed a disabled painter on the forehead. Iranian law reportedly interprets this as adultery, a claim that has sparked international controversy. Al Nassr, Ronaldo's team, has requested that their match against Esteghlal be played on neutral ground, possibly due to these concerns.
