Description

Book Synopsis
The legal treatment of sexual behavior is a subject that receives little scholarly attention in the field of Middle East women’s studies. Elyse Semerdjian’s “Off the Straight Path” takes a bold step toward filling that gap, offering a fascinating look at the historical progression of Islamic law’s treatment of illicit sex.

Trade Review
A pioneering work. . . . It will be the standard text to be cited by scholars working on the period and the subject matter for years to come."" —Yvonne Haddad, Georgetown University
