Soraya M.'s husband plotted with four friends and a counterfeit mullah to dispose of her. Together, they accused Soraya of adultery. Her only crime was cooking for a friend's widowed husband. Exhausted by a lifetime of abuse and hardship, Soraya said nothing, and the makeshift tribunal took her silence as a confession of guilt. They sentenced her to death by stoning: a punishment prohibited by Islam but widely practiced. Day by day--sometimes minute by minute--Sahebjam deftly recounts these horrendous events, tracing Soraya's life with searing immediacy, from her arranged marriage and the births of her children to her husband's increasing cruelty and the difficult details of her horrifying execution, where, by tradition, her father, husband, and sons hurled the first stones. A stark look at the intersection between culture and justice, this is one woman's story, but it stands for the stories of thousands of women who suffered--and continue to suffer--the same fate. It is a story that must be told" --Cover, p. 4. 650 0 Adultery|zIran|vCase studies. 650 0 Stoning|zIran|vCase studies. 650 0 Adultery (Islamic law) 650 7 Adultery.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00797378 650 7 Adultery (Islamic law)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00797394 650 7 Stoning.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01133955 651 7 Iran.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204889 655 7 Case studies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423765 938 Baker and Taylor|bBTCP|nBK0009397402 938 YBP Library Services|bYANK|n3642906 938 Blackwell Book Service|bBBUS|n3642906 938 Coutts Information Services|bCOUT|n15598264 938 Brodart|bBROD|n12339075|c$12.95 994 02|bGWV
