As well as describing and analysing their sexual relationships, the book also investigates how Islam influences discourses of sexuality in Indonesia, and in particular how Islamic teachings affect Muslim married womens perceptions and behaviour in their sexual relationships with their husbands. Based on extensive original research, the book reveals that Muslim women perceive marriage as a social, cultural, and religious obligation that they need to fulfil; that they realise that finding an ideal marriage partner is complicated, with some having the opportunity for a long courtship and others barely knowing their partner prior to marriage; and that there is a strong tendency, with some exceptions, for women to consider a sexual relationship in marriage as their duty and their husbands right. Religious and cultural discourses justify and support this view and consider refusal a sin (dosa) or taboo (pamali). Both discourses emphasise obedience towards husbands in marriage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51813764006176,"sku":"NEW0367487519","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81-VX6dU63L.jpg?v=1781037751","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/islam-womens-sexuality-and-patriarchy-in-indonesia-silent-desire-asaa-women-in-asia-series-0367487519","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
