Based on 24-months of fieldwork at a women's shelter in Kabul, Sonia Ahsan provides readers with a social and textual ethnography of the category of sexual promiscuity in Afghanistan. This is the first ethnography of Pashtun women written by a Pashtun woman"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on March 27, 2021) Subject Muslim women -- Afghanistan -- Social conditions Promiscuity -- Afghanistan Runaway women -- Afghanistan -- Social conditions Women -- Religious aspects -- Islam.
