This writing is a summary of what I have learned regarding the ceremony, rights, roles and concepts of Shia marriage in Iran, including dowry, divorce and temporary marriage, based on what is being said in Farsi by scholars, literature, media and Iranians who have recently lived in the country. It will help others understand where Iranians have come from and what their society is promoting in books, movies and conversations.Survey of Shia Marriage in Iran: Based on Literature, Media and Personal Interviews is a must read for anyone working with Shiites, both for helping those in marriage and for preparing others anticipating marriage. Nakhati Jon has thoroughly researched Shia marriage and clarifies the differences between a Muslim contract and a Christian covenant. Other than the Shiite muta, or temporary marriage, there is much that is applicable to Sunni marriages.Dr. Patrick O. Cate, author of Through God's Eyes
