The Case For Forced Divorce

Everywoman

Available for over a year

No stranger to controversy, Dr Nawal El-Sidaawi has once again been in court in her homeland Egypt. This time, she's threatened with divorce from her husband of 37 years against her will because of an ancient Sharia law which allows individual Muslims to sue if they believe Islam is being harmed. Also on the programme: The family haunted by infidelity - one woman's story of an unfaithful grandfather, father and husband. Plus, what is it about men that women like - could it be his smell?
