Domestic Violence in Iran: Women, Marriage and Islam: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Domestic Violence in Iran: Women, Marriage and Islam" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book offers a new methodological and theoretical approach to the highly sensitive and complicated issue of violence against women in contemporary Iran. Challenging the widespread notion that secularisation and modernisation are the keys to emancipating women, the author instead posits that domestic violence is deeply rooted in society and situated in the fundament of current discourses. Investigating how orthodox jurisprudence as mainstream discourse, together with social, legal and public norms, help to perpetuate the production and reproduction of physical, psychological, sexual and economical violence against women, the author presents and reflects upon narratives, experiences and the social realities accounting for domestic violence against women. Drawing on qualitative empirical research, she theorises that the notion of secularization and modernisation helping to overcome such violence is to some extent represented by Islamic feminism, secular feminism, and religious intellectualism, all of which are methodologically examined in the analysis. Challenging conventional wisdom regarding womens place in Iran and in wider Islamic society, this book offers a new insight into violence against Muslim women and as such will be an important addition to the existing literature in the areas of gender studies, Middle Eastern and Islamic studies, and Iranian studies.

Introduction
This book is concerned with investigating the local conditions and factors leading to violence against women in Iranian society, with Islam (in its Shia version) as its official religion. My assumption here was that, although violence against women is a global phenomenon, it manifests itself in local forms and is rooted in a local interplay of factors. My interest was to study the effects of these factors on domestic violence against women in Iran. This was done theoretically (by introducing epistemological, ontological and methodological discourses) and practically (by conducting an empirical investigation).
According to many criminologists, domestic violence against women is the most under-reported crime worldwide. However, data presented to the United Nations has revealed that violence against women, or gender-based violence, is a widespread phenomenon that happens across the world, regardless of class, nationality, race, religion and socio-economic development (World Health Organisation, 2005a; United Nations Report, 1991). is to investigate the roots and causes of violence as a universal phenomenon. The aim is to provide an overview of the existing literature in relation to the set of factors involved in producing, perpetuating and limiting violence. There will be an attempt to apply an interdisciplinary approach in reviewing violence against women, in terms of the interplay of a complex configuration of factors. A brief outline of the definition and terminology of domestic violence is given. I will further present the results of a number of studies conducted in relation to domestic violence against women in Iran. Finally, a summary of the chapter will be given.
