The House of Obedience is about women in the Arab world who are still largely subject to a traditional set of beliefs and customs employed to justify a multiplicity of practices against them. The veil, physical mutilation, forced marriage, incarceration in the home, repudiation and polygamy are manifestations of this commitment to a traditional lifestyle, with the Islamic concept of the family as its keystone.Minces, Juliette is the author of 'House of Obedience Women in Arab Society' with ISBN 9780862320638 and ISBN 0862320631.
