Description

Soraya M. husband, Ghorban-Ali, couldn afford to marry another woman. Rather than returning Soraya 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 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 life with searing immediacy, from her arranged marriage and the births of her children to her husband increasing cruelty and her horrifying execution, where, by tradition, her father, husband, and sons hurled the first stones. A stark look at the intersection between culture and justice, this is one woman 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.
