I have learned a lot about the customs of Muslim women wearing burkas. Many are being forced to wear the burkas but it is actually up to the husband if they need to wear one. If the husbands decide that they don't want other men to see their wife's face they force her to wear a burka

The process of marriage was much more complicated in Japan. In many cases there would be a go between to deliver messages and the families would meet all together. A formal proposal would be delivered by the go between and the families would meet again.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that took me by surprise in this book was Joe Starks' ability to show up in a different and new town and begin making changes without resistance. It just shows how towns were created and taken charge of by people that had just arrived.

It was very common for men to treat women's lives poorly in Afghanistan in the 1980's for their own needs such as:  the house is not cleaned properly, rice is not cooked through all of the way, or they fail to produce offspring for them. The punishments would vary depending on how the man saw fit; which led to cruel acts that are inhumane.

MIddle Eastern society in the 1980's was very controversial. As Middle Eastern men & women began to gain access to more educational opportunities, tradition Islamic practices & customs began to take less priority. The wearing of hijabs, burkas, or a lack there of began to become the man's choice for his wife and was often associated with his level of education. The more educated the man the more open he was to less conservative women ideals.
