Iranian GEDmatch kits

The shiraz sample is originally from a study set and also this person seems too iranian to be from AFG. Honestly, apart from the SI and caucasian, the person doesnt seem different in the other components compared to most other iranians

He/She gets modelled as half Iranian half Pashtun on my Vahaduo runs. 30.17 Caucasian is not possible for ethnic Persian I think.

Are we talking about the golestani named sample or shiraz one?

THe shiraz one gets like 35% caucasian and thats actually not really much lower compared to many iranians with half as much SI(many get 36-38%) and even higher than other iranians with far lower SI(ones would be from mashdad iran).


The one named golestani might be mixed though.

Do Shi'ites and Sunnis intermarry in Iran? Are there conversions from Sunnism to Shi'ism?

Religious lines are seldom breached in Iran especially since the Iranian revolution but even before it. Religion does matter.

I was shocked to see so many Armenians being married to non-Armenians when I came to California whereas in Iran I rarely saw any Christian (Assyrian, and Armenian) marry outside their groups only among each other.

Sunni and Shia are also not easy.

The Sunni Iranians are from isolated regions. Kurds from Kurdistan Province ( Kermanshahi are mainly Shias), Balochis, some coastal Persians and Arabs, and Turkmens.

With urbanized Turkmens, many have become Shias and Persianized. But religious affiliation does matter a lot more than ethnicity.

I agree wrt Sunni Shia and especially in my parents time, but now depending on the family off course it's less strict. With my family they don't care much as long as there's no language barrier and they are muslim. As Kurds we see other Iranians as our cousins so it's an even easier transition and if I wasn't married my parents wouldn't care too much if I married any ethnicity within Iran or Afghanistan or Pakistan for that matter.

I assume there is quite a bit of non Kurd to Kurd marriages within Iran especially in Shia Kurd areas such as Kermanshah or Khorasan but probably also Sunni Kurds too. Would that be a fair statement?
