I lived in Iran. My sisters were born there. When they were they had blond hair blue eyes. My dad was continually approached with offers, large amounts of money, property, to arrange a marriage and meat the bride prices for such exotic girls. This was occuring while my sisters where under 10 years old.

Women in Islamic countries are PROPERTY. For the father to sell at the best price, and for the husband to use. An eldest son in Islamic cultural has more authority than his mother. Think about how growing up being able to order your mother about affects your worldview re: women.

Wow. Very informative post. Thank you. (Did you mean to say “meat” though?)

Do you happen to know how a woman who murdered a man would be regarded, if the man were outside the culture but the woman was part of it? I’m curious about that. Maybe it just never happens so there isn’t an example to draw on.
