 Nicole:
If you marry an Iranian man, you automatically become an Iranian citizen. The laws regarding women are very strict. You cannot travel anywhere without written permission. You have no rights to the children. They go to the man in a divorce. I'm sorry, but you *will* have to go back to your husband.
Betty Mahmoody:
But we'll never get out of Iran. We're being held hostage! It was almost impossible to come here!
Nicole:
Mrs. Mahmoody, there are many American women here in similar circumstances. [pauses]
Nicole:
May I ask you why you came to Iran?
Betty Mahmoody:
[pauses] I don't know. I don't know.
