Marriage of Qajar Children
A look at the problems of polygamy
Another issue discussed in the book is the prevalence of polygamy, and according to the author, the majority of foreign tourists have acknowledged it. In this regard, the author says: "Doraville believed that Iranian men take wives as long as they have the power to give a dowry and take care of a woman, just like the people of the East." Polygamy, according to the example of the Prophet of Islam and what he prescribed for his followers, is still considered a part of social issues in Iran and other Islamic lands. The wives of men who have two or more wives always turn to magic and spells in competition with their husbands to satisfy their wives. Baban and Hosse acknowledged that women used to hang all kinds of charms on their necks, some of which was to remove the evil of competition and jealousy.
