Reviews
When an Indian, Muslim woman reaches marriageable age, it is not uncommon for her to be approached by elderly family members with the following question, When are you getting married? Often, the young woman is encouraged to view or meet suitable men in the presence of her family...The question of whether or not this young lady will be happily matched to this suitor is often left unanswered...The Samoosa Express to Marriage and Beyond is an anthology that aims to showcase the lives of South African Muslim Women before and beyond marriage. -Sumaya Seedat, Irtiqa website, Muslim Women With a Voice. 'The global ideology that prevails around the subject of Muslim women has been shaped by a description of women being voiceless, silent and oppressed. Other views have positioned Muslim women as either religious or secular and have ignored the complexity of Muslim women's experiences.' (Davids, 2003).
