Airdates: No airdates currently scheduled.

In Iran, like anywhere else in the world, one of the major preoccupations of young people is to find a partner and to get married. But in a country where boys and girls are not allowed to mix freely, meeting Mister or Miss Right is not easy. In Iran, it is not Cupid wielding his arrow that young lovers rely on, but rather a young, friendly Muslim cleric. Jafar Ardabili runs the Amin International Family and Cultural Institute, Iran's first officially sanctioned internet dating agency. The prospective couples are allowed three meetings. Two meetings are under the strict supervision inside the center and a third brief encounter on their own follows. After that they either marry or never see each other again. Iranian filmmaker Leila Lak went to meet the Clerical Cupid and talk to some of his customers to see first hand if his methods work.
