Interpretation To Books The Stoning of Soraya M.
Soraya M.'s husband, Ghorban-Ali, couldn't afford to marry another woman. Rather than returning Soraya's dowry, as custom required before taking a second wife, he plotted with four friends and a counterfeit mullah to dispose of her. Together, they accused Soraya of adultery. Her only crime was cooking for a friend's widowed husband. Exhausted by a lifetime of abuse and hardship, Soraya said nothing, and the makeshift tribunal took her silence as a confession of guilt. They sentenced her to death by stoning: a punishment prohibited by Islam but widely practiced. Day by day sometimes minute by minute Sahebjam deftly recounts these horrendous events, tracing Soraya's life with searing immediacy, from her arranged marriage and the births of her nine children to her husband's increasing cruelty and her horrifying execution, where, by tradition, her father, husband, and sons hurled the first stones.This is one woman's story, but it stands for the stories of thousands of women who suffered and continue to suffer the same fate. It is a story that must be told.

The Stoning of Soraya M. is one of those books that would leave you a bit shocked and taken aback for a day or two, if it were fiction. However, The Stoning of Soraya M. isn't fiction, the events of this book truly did take place in Iran and it's horrifying to know that the last chapters of this book, from the stoning itself, to Soraya's pitiful burial took place here in the real world just a little over 30 years ago.Reading the book itself is journey, at this point anyone who picks up the bookSoraya's story is haunting. What makes this book so difficult to read is that it is a true story based on the life and death of one woman who is sentenced to death by stoning. The book was originally copyrighted in 1990 and translated in 1994. Research by the author notes that statistics on death by stoning are difficult to come by and many go unreported "one can safely say that a least 1000 women have met their death by stoning in Iran over the past fifteen years" (back cover). The Stoning of
Full Review here: http://thereandtheir.wordpress.com/20...The movie had made quite an impression. And as it was based on the true story, both book and the movie told the similar story, the book has more details about Sorayas past and her personality.The story shows how rules of the God can be used against a person for personal gains.Sorayas Aunt Zahara was the oldest lady in the village and through her we see the changing political and religious winds in the Islamic country. Where earlier she
"Over the past 15 years more than 1,000 women have been stoned to death in Iran..."Soraya was married and the mother of nine children. She lived in a small village in rural Iran. Her marriage had been arranged by her father. Her husband was a conniving, brutal man who beat both his wife and his children, slept with other women, and did little to provide for his family. Under Islamic law, if a woman is accused of infidelity by her husband, she has to prove her innocence or suffer a punishment
What a heinous crime committed against women in the name of Godl. I stand confused unbelieving this unjust law. I cannot put suitable words in place. It is just the ugliest law I ever know.
This is the true story of a woman in Iran, Soraya Manutchehri, who in 1986 was stoned to death. Her husband Ali wanted to marry a 14 year old girl but couldn't afford to have 2 wives, households, kids, & the good life, etc. Rather than give her her dowry back, the house & the field so she could support herself & her 2 daughters he & the local mullah rigged a charge of adultery, conviction & sentence of death by stoning.Don't worry that much info is not a spoiler.
