Topic: Temporary Marriage In Iran
Speaker:  Ms. Nadia Shahram
 

Temporary Marriage is one of the practices which at its inception 1400 years ago might have been beneficial to women, but which now clearly serves the interests of men. As with so many other religious laws, what was originally done to liberate women has been twisted into a means to oppress them. In this meeting the speaker will present the results of her studies of “Temporary Marriage” in Iran as discussed in her book entitled "Marriage On the Street Corners of Tehran."

Nadia Shahram lives in Amherst, New York where she teaches at the University at Buffalo Law School. She has written and spoken extensively on the subject of the misinterpretation of the Quran in family and criminal laws as they affect Muslim women.

Currently she is working on a documentary which explores cultural practices that harm Muslim women, such as blood money and honor killings. Her law practice focuses on matrimonial law.
