Where there are only ours, and Iran is no exception. Many of our women's fate has brought to a distant Muslim country, but even there most people live rather well. About how their life develops in a foreign country, the rights of women in Iran and their way of life will be told in this article, built on witnesses' testimonies.
How do they live in Iranian women?
Russian women, who by fate's will found themselves in these remote areas, settled differently. Many managed to create a good family there, give birth to children, and feel even good in an alien world for us. Oksana, 35, living in Tehran, says that the most Russian women love special parties, when they gather in a close circle of countrywomen to chat in their native language, discuss news coming to them from the Motherland, sing our songs and dance to our pop. In such evenings a woman can relax, take off her bored hijabs and feel herself again, like in her native land.
On the tables the native Olivier flaunts to the pain, the herring is a crock, which they themselves prepare and, if carried, extracted by incredible buckwheat trunks, which you will not find in Iran. Watching the discs with the records of our artists who are there, far from their homeland, are especially nostalgically perceived. Salts and pork, of course, are not used to eating lamb for many years of life among Muslims.
Our holidays are celebrated on a mandatory basis - the New Year, March 8, visit the Orthodox Church, although almost all were forced to accept Islam. Oksana explains that otherwise it is impossible. Relatives of the husband will not be too aggressive, but if you do not accept Islam, you will almost always hear reproaches until the end of your life.
The laws of Iran are such that almost none of them work - it is not accepted in the country. A woman should sit at home with her children, keep housekeeping, and husband for her husband to provide for the family. True, modern mores still allow women to work, in addition, all the money earned by it, according to the law, it spends itself. But the husband, in this case, can resist that she will not help her around the house. If you want to work, then do the rest yourself, the Iranian stubbornly declares his desire to work outside his wife's home.
In Iran there is such a community that unites all women of Slavic origin. They support each other, help in difficult situations. Moreover, they fall into this community in different ways. Who met a street street, someone through friends. Women try to maintain between their ties, even if they are in different parts of Iran.
The position of the woman in Iran
Everything would be fine, Zoya, born in Odessa, is frank. Yes, here are our children, born here, grow up Persians. And the laws are on the side of the father, not the mother. If you divorce your husband, you will have your children. But not all women in Iran are married for life. Here, from ancient times, so-called temporary marriages are allowed (something like our civil cohabitation). Only they are certified by a notary. Many women are employed or go to university and live in such a temporary marriage. As if with her husband, and at the same time free.
Persians love our women, the Russian Svetlana shares. They believe that Russians are more sincere and devoted. If an Iranian girl, when she is married, puts forward exorbitant demands on her future spouse when drafting a marriage contract, then our people are ready to give themselves free of charge, wanting only love and loyalty. If a man can not sufficiently provide it, then she does not reproach him at all, but is satisfied with the small, helping him than he can. In general, ours are everywhere the same as in our homeland, that's why many Western men love it.
When asked how they relate to the rights of women, they grin. Iranian women consider themselves free, even in spite of the laws. And the questions about polygamy are simply frankly laughing.
- Well, you think for yourself - smiles Irina (hailing from Ukraine) to have several wives - this is how much money a man needs? Especially, if this is Iranian women, not ours, who are satisfied with the small. Some Persians get married before the age of 30 can not, because the wedding falls completely on their shoulders, and the costs can be up to 5,000 dollars. So long as the groom picks them up, in order to bring at least one wife into the house! Where there are 2 or more so three wives!
- Women here have a lot of glossy magazines, they follow the fashion and the question: how do you manage to use this all on your own, are frank.
- A woman always wants to be beautiful, right? Therefore, it is especially ingenious in such conditions. Under the veil hides a trendy T-shirt or tight jeans, which you can brag to a friend's friends. And the young people at all do it. Having rented a house on the outskirts, they arrange parties with drinks and dances, dressed in fashionable clothes and rasslababivshis far from strict control of elders.
So, one can say, in Iran, a double life is often conducted. In appearance - strict, puritanical, and secretly free and unchained, and the dry law is not a hindrance. Now the times are not so severe for women, they can put on fashionable things, otherwise the length of the dress was not above the knees, but the bare parts of the body did not appear anywhere. Many people study and work. In institutes, guys, little girls together in one group can often turn out to be.
So, not everything is as scary as some journalists write, Svetlana smiles. You get used to everything. At me, for example, muzhochen good and children remarkable. I try not to violate their traditions, and the family is also quite tolerant to me, does not offend. That's only Toskapo Native land, of course, it happens that it just brings you to the depression. And so nothing, have got used. Man gets used to everything ...
Men in Iran are industrious, respectful, very hospitable to women. In the house, wives are helped and behave calmly and well. The main thing is not to go against the feminists and not to chase, to respect the family, and here it is possible to live, - the girls summed up.
