A spokesman for the ministry said on Wednesday that government officials will review the case of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, who was convicted of adultery in 2006.
"The verdict regarding the extramarital affairs has stopped and it's being reviewed," Ramin Mehmanparast told Iran's state-run English-language channel, Press TV.
Ashtiani was convicted in 2006 of having an "illicit relationship" with two men after the murder of her husband the previous year. She had also been sentenced to death following a separate conviction for playing a role in her husband's 2005 murder.
