Customs such as the enforced veiling of women,\u003cbr\u003eeasy divorce for men, child marriage, and polygamy were robustly reintroduced\u003cbr\u003eand those who did not conform to societal strictures were severely punished. At\u003cbr\u003ethe same time, new social and economic programs benefited the urban and rural\u003cbr\u003epoor, especially women, which had a direct impact on gender relations and the\u003cbr\u003einstitution of marriage. Edited by Janet Afary and Jesilyn Faust, this interdisciplinary\u003cbr\u003evolume responds to the growing interest and need for literature on gender, marriage\u003cbr\u003eand family relations in the Islamic context. The book examines how the institution\u003cbr\u003eof marriage transformed in Iran, paying close attention to the country's culture\u003cbr\u003eand politics. Part One examines changes in urban marriages to new forms of\u003cbr\u003ecohabitation. In Part Two contributors, such as Soraya Tremayne, explore the way\u003cbr\u003etechnology and social media has impacted and altered the institution of family.\u003cbr\u003ePart Three turns its eye to look at marital changes in the rural and tribal sectors\u003cbr\u003eof society through the works of anthropologists including Erika Friedl and Mary\u003cbr\u003eHegland. Based on the work of both new and established scholars, the book\u003cbr\u003eprovides an up-to-date study of an important and intensely politicized subject.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I.B.
