BASTARD

I read this in an Iranian weblog.

There is an item in the application form for extending the Iranian passport:
-One of your parents should sign here, if you are a BASTARD, the signatory should be your mother.

They used the term of BASTARD (haroom-zadeh), not illegitimate child or out of wedlock child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please read the weblog, to understand what exactly I mean.
