"MARRIAGE ON THE STREET CORNERS OF TEHRAN" by |
|
NADIA SHAHRAM |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This insightful novel is the compelling and moving
account of the struggles of an ambitious but innocent young woman
caught in the practice of "temporary marriage" - a form of
religiously and culturally sanctioned prostitution justified by a
misinterpretation of the Quran - |
|
A practice that goes back sixth-century tribal
Persia and still alive in this modern age. |
|
While traveling through Iran, the author heard
hundreds of account from women who, in order to survive, fell prey
to these temporary marriages. She narrated their stories through a
composite fictional character: Ateesh. a beautiful, modern woman
with high hopes and ambitions living in Iran. The story chronicles
her life from the abusive arranged marriage she escapes at the age
of twelve to the many contractual temporary marriages she engages in
as she struggles for love, education, and most importantly,
independence. |
|
The author is a dynamic speaker with great passion
for her work, so do come along and be part of a very interesting
event. |
|
She lives in Amherst where she teaches at the
University of Buffalo Law School. Her law practice focuses on
matrimonial law. |
