Law of Desire: Temporary Marriage in Shi'i Iran, Revised Edition - Paperback
by Shahla Haeri (Author)
Law of Desire explores an institution in which sexuality, morality, religious rules, secular laws, and cultural practices converge. Drawing on rich interviews that would have been denied a Western anthropologist, Haeri describes the concept of a temporary marriage contract as it is practiced in Iran. This revised edition includes a postscript contextualizing this classic work within contemporary Iranian society.
Shahla Haeri is associate professor of anthropology at Boston University. She is also the author of No Shame for the Sun: Lives of Professional Pakistani Women.
