## Personal life

Mohammadkhani was involved in a public court case in [Iran](/source/Iran), after his wife Laleh Saharkhizan was found murdered in her apartment on 9 October 2002. [Shahla Jahed](/source/Shahla_Jahed), his mistress in a temporary marriage arrangement was convicted of the murder of Laleh. Mohammadkhani was in Germany when the killing happened, but it emerged later that he was ["temporarily married"](/source/Nikah_mut%E2%80%98ah) to Jahed, a practice allowed under [Shia Islam](/source/Shia_Islam) and thus under Iranian law. Jahed was executed in 2010, following the completion of the appeals procedure. In 2008, the then chief of Iran's judiciary, [Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi](/source/Mahmoud_Hashemi_Shahroudi), ordered a fresh investigation and did not sanction her execution ruling that her initial conviction (based as it was on a confession she made under duress) was unacceptable.[4]

On 5 January 2026, Mohammadkhani publicly supported the [2025–2026 Iranian protests](/source/2025%E2%80%932026_Iranian_protests) on his [Instagram](/source/Instagram), stating: "Hand in hand for Iran. Freedom is closer to us than our jugular vein." [5]
