The chapter’s subject

The chapter examines the relationship between temporary marriage and early child marriage in Iran. It considers how family expectations and arrangements described as sigheh mahramiat can influence young people’s relationships and choices.

Read the chapter’s argument within its own evidence and historical setting. It should not be treated as a description of every family or a complete account of current law.

The chapter and the wider collection

The edited volume brings together contributions addressing temporary and child marriages and their historical and social contexts. Its geographical coverage is wider than this individual chapter.

The PDF linked above is the complete 161-page edited volume. Use its contents to find Ahmady’s contribution; a file containing the volume is not a chapter-only download.

Publication and citation

Printed page numbers differ from a PDF viewer’s page count because of front matter. Use the publisher’s chapter range when citing the contribution.

An Echo of Silence addresses child marriage, while A House on Water examines temporary marriage. They are related works, rather than alternative editions of the Springer volume.
