Description:House with Open DoorA Comprehensive Research Study on White Marriage (Cohabitation) in IranBy: Kameel AhmadyThe study reported in this book by the British-Iranian anthropologist Kameel Ahmady considers both legal and informal coupledom in Iran. It is hugely broad in scope and also detailed in specifics.In considering the factors which shape young Iranian’s decisions about heterosexual relationships Ahmady takes us from the end of the secular era of the Shahs of Iran to the modern day ultra-religious administration. We are also guided across many regions of the globe, and across cultures, from the largely closed communities of decades ago, to the present age of instant global communication and influence.Ahmady’s endeavours explore a way of living and understanding society that most in the West have rarely encountered. We may know that in some countries bigamy, even polygamy, is still permitted; we may even know that in some places children are permitted to be married at a very early age (often, in Iran, girls to older men – but never forget that some western states also permit very young people to marry).House with Open DoorA Comprehensive Research Study on White Marriage (Cohabitation) in IranBy: Kameel AhmadyThe study reported in this book by the British-Iranian anthropologist Kameel Ahmady considers both legal and informal coupledom in Iran.

Nor are we likely to know that sexual involvement outside marriage is increasingly common in the Iranian metropolises, but also, as confirmed by post-Millennium legislation and, should the authorities so decide on the basis of the evidence, punishable in some cases by lashing, stoning or even death.Present-day Iran is a complex nation, on the one hand imbibed with centuries of deeply religious tradition and family strictures, and on the other informed about the modern world by sophisticated and easily accessible technologies available to millions of highly educated young citizens, men and women alike. In this book Kameel Ahmady sets himself the task of exploring how the contradictions between these fundamentally conflicting factors are resolved (or not) by the young people in his country of birth.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
