"Off the Straight Path": Illicit Sex, Law, and Community in Ottoman Aleppo - Gender, Culture, and Politics in the Middle East
Elyse Semerdjian
The legal treatment of sexual behavior is a subject that receives little scholarly attention in the field of Middle East women's studies. Elyse Semerdjian's "Off the Straight Path" takes a bold step toward filling that gap, offering a fascinating look at the historical progression of Islamic law's treatment of illicit sex.
