    Based on this book, which somewhat explains Muslim culture, women in Afghanistan have barely any power over their marriage, even their lives. Nana, being a good example of this, was put in a situation where she was forced to marry Shindad, a young parakeet seller, at the age of fifteen. About a week before the wedding, she has a jinn, a seizure, causing the groom’s family to cancel the wedding right away (9=10). That right there shows an example of Afghani men, who only find wives based on their health for fertility reasons. As Nana would say, “A man’s accusing finger always finds a woman” (7). She is accused of forcing herself on Jalil (6), making their relationship more than a friendship; and her life goes downhill from there after a series of unfortunate events involving Jalil once she commits suicide (34).…

    When you hear the word ‘woman’, what thoughts, words, or traits come to mind? Women should be diverse, loved, have respect, and most of all, be treated equally. In Afghanistan, things are much different from the U.S. Kabul is one of the most brutal areas for women in Afghanistan. Especially when the Taliban would rule, things would take a turn for the worst. The rights of women would soon be canceled, not mainly because of religion, but because of one of the harshest dictatorships to ever take place in Afghanistan and the affected areas around this broken country. The role of Afghan women have been underestimated by the Taliban because the women are treated poorly and unequally, the Taliban believe that women should have no rights, and if these women rebel against the rule of Taliban, they are then struck down with harsh consequences or are killed.…

For example, the life of the woman in the Ottoman Period was a life of few limitation. In the article by Suraiya Farooqhi, ‘Subjects of the Sultan: Culture and Daily Life in the Ottoman Period”1 it showed a different way of life of the women in the Islamic society.

    I remember the annual summer vacation trips my family had to Afghanistan when I was a child. I could recall holding my mom’s hand while I walked around the bazaars wondering why so many women had thrown blue bed sheets on themselves in this humid weather. I asked my mom and she just laughed and told me it was a fashion statement. When I was older, I learned it was a burka and these women wore it in order to prevent the arousal of men. They oppressed themselves in fear of a distortion of Islam. I realized as an Afghan girl living in a patriarchal society I needed to show the world that I am independent and resilient. I strived to be an exemplar of self-sufficiency and demonstrate that I am no less than any man. This mindset of resistance and…

There were many opportunities for females to form their own lives and live for themselves, with no men or law holding them back.

    The female plays a vital role in every culture, but the expectation of a woman is different from North America to the Middle East. American women had to fight for their current rights, but in some countries women are not given the opportunity to fight, or even think it. Both religion and men from the Middle East play a major role in the Islamic woman’s beliefs, education, and even health. Imagine the American women of the past, who were not able to have an education, expected to bare children, expected to wear a dress and had no say in the political world.…
