Sorry Lovers! Valentine's Day A Big No In These Countries

Iran:
In an attempt to cast out Western influence from the budding minds of Iranian youth, this Islamic country has banned Valentine’s Day since 2011. The country’s lawmaker prohibits the production of Valentine’s Day gifts and also any promotion of the day celebrating romantic love and affections between a man and a woman.  The new Valentine’s Day guidelines strictly warn Iranians that legal action will be taken against the violators. According to the latest instructions, “Printing and producing any products related to Valentine’s Day, including posters, brochures, advertising cards, boxes with the symbols of hearts, half-hearts, red roses and any activities promoting this day are banned,” reports TIME. With the popularity of V-day on the rise in Iran within its 70 percent of the younger population, the ban apparently was imposed to curb it.
