How to meet my Persian girlfriend in Iran and have privacy while not being married?
I plan to visit my girlfriend in Iran. She's Persian (from Tabriz), I'm French and we’re not married.
We're planning to see each other for a week. We don't know yet where but Tehran would be nice given the amount of activities or in the north (like Rasht) for their openness.
She doesn't have a house for herself since she's still living with her parents until she joins me in Germany next winter. It would be inappropriate to act as lovers in their house, even hold hands.
Hotels don’t accept shared rooms for non-married couples (due to islamic law), and sometimes don’t accept single women at all. The fact she's single is written on her passport and all hotels ask for it. Also, she doesn't have any other nationality. We don't know where we can meet at all because of this.
Do you know a place where we can have privacy (to be precise, have physical contact of any kind, such as holding hands or hugging, not sex) there?

Iran has a really tough situation regarding the matter, though in recent years its strict laws are gradually fading away.
The most simple legal solution is for you to marry her (more of an arrangement between you two to avoid the problems).
It may seem pretty out of hand for you at first. But marriage has a simple and routine process and it barely would take longer than an hour for you to sign the documents and be done with it. In case of later finding out you don't want to continue your relationship she can simply sign some papers and get a divorce. The process is nothing close to what you have to go through in the western countries.
Pros:
- You wouldn't need to be afraid of anything and could openly go around with her.
- Experience a true relationship, a sneaky one would force both of you into subsidiary matters.
- You'll avoid anything harmful to happen to your relationship by being found out by the gov or her family.
- If you've seen her before twice and you're that serious to travel to Iran because of her, maybe it's time to meet her parents.
Cons:
- She has to probably tell the matter to her family. That depends on her parents and their relationship. But it's probably the case And it's not very easy for girls in Iran to do that. But in case she decides to hide the matter from them. It's totally OK and you can still marry together without any problem.
- she'll have to always point at the relationship she had with you through at her life because of your name on her ID docs.
You can later on have a real marriage when you both made up your mind about it.
