Modernizing Marriage - Kenneth M. Cuno - Bog

In 1910, when Khedive Abbas II married a second wife surreptitiously, the contrast with his openly polygamous grandfather could not have been greater. That contrast reflected the spread of new ideals of family life that accompanied the development of Egypt's modern marriage system. Modernizing Marriage explores the evolution of marriage and marital relations, shedding new light on the social and cultural history of Egypt.
