This book goes behind the scenes to reveal what really happens in the lives of millions of Muslim women. It shows how these are very different from those of Western women, detailing the rules that control their behaviour and revealing the pressures and tensions that they often face within their families and societies. The author describes how the Islamic concepts of honor and shame can oppress and endanger women and how arranged and forced marriages can be life-threatening for them.
