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.
