Chapter Two: Somayeh


Somayeh’s story is based on that of a woman who wishes to remain anonymous; her relationship, from marriage to divorce, is as she explained it to me, including descriptions of her physical appearance and her dress. Conversations between Somayeh and her friends are conversations heard between girls of the same age group and from the same conservative families as Somayeh, or they are conversations recounted by Somayeh. Political conversations between the men were conversations I listened to in her area as well as conversations in a mahzar notary office shortly after Rouhani’s election victory. I also interviewed several women in their fifties from conservative families for a full picture of Somayeh’s mother, Fatemeh, and Fatemeh’s friends.
Somayeh is currently living with her parents and her daughter. She told me she does feel lust from time to time, but she fights it hard, the only way she knows how, with fasting and prayers. Suitors come for her, but her neighbours and family were all right about one thing: none of them have been prepared to accept Somayeh with her little girl. Somayeh has said another nazr prayer, asking for a good husband who will love her daughter. She believes God and
Imam Zaman will come good, as they have always done. She believes she is in store for another miracle.
