Tahereh was
not even 10 years old when her parents brought her a ring and a wedding shawl
and started the pre-marriage arrangements for a traditional wedding ceremony.
“The moment my mother learned that I had had my period, she and my father had a
whispered conversation," says Tahereh. "And a couple of days later my
aunt’s family came with a ring and told me that now I was an adult and I was
going to be my aunt’s daughter-in-law.”
