Mah-e Asal (Persian: ماه عسل, meaning "honeymoon") was an Iranian, Persian language, popular daily television program broadcast by Channel 3 during Ramadan. The host of the program was Ehsan Alikhani. The main subject of the program was the life of ordinary people who have had an extraordinary rare experience.[1]
The program aired daily from 2007 to 2018 during Ramadan, often collaborating with Iran's judicial system, which is based on Islamic law and includes the "eye for an eye" principle.[2] It finished broadcasting and production after 12 years in 2018.[3]
The storyline of the 2019 film Yalda, a Night for Forgiveness, directed by Massoud Bakhshi, is based on the show, but transposes it to Yaldā Night instead of Ramadan. In the film, a young woman convicted of murder pleads for forgiveness from the daughter of the victim, while the audience can sms their votes to help pay for the blood money.[2]
