So, in essence, what you are claiming is that though Iran has apparently "officially" dropped the punishment of stoning to death, it is allowed by tribal court and thus, not illegal nor dropped...
...if stoning sentences were passed by lower courts, they were over-ruled by higher courts and "no such verdicts have been carried out."[26]

Uh huh... or maybe because human rights groups have been all over this for 6 years now and the publicity is what has kept the sentence from being carried out, so far...

I mean, seriously, why do people think this is wrong, barbaric, or deviant ?
It's their culture, and they apply their cultural laws, as they see fit.
