This revised edition includes a postscript contextualizing this classic work within contemporary Iranian society.
"Law of Desire contains some very interesting, often heartbreaking, life stories of women. . . . It is the first of its kind to deal with a taboo issue which, despite its social and political importance, has been neglected and overlooked by a wide range of political opinion in Iran." - Feminist Review
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Haeri's study is masterful because she is able to use the investigation of temporary marriage to explore so many aspects of Iranian society; male-female relationships, Shi'a-Sunni religious divisions, and the nature of contact in Islamic legal codes." - Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
"A pioneering contribution to our scant knowledge of marriage practices and the dynamics of male-female relationships in Iran." - International Journal of Middle East Studies
