Abstract: Financial discourse is applicable to many aspects of lived experience, as Geoffrey chaucer demonstrates in his ventriloquizing of a female cloth merchant, the Wife of Bath. As chaucer's Alisoun boldly states in her Prologue ( c . 1437), 'wynne whoso may, for al is for to selle'. For Alisoun, and by implication for chaucer's contemporary society, the knowledge that everything and everyone has a value to be exploited, is key. commercial discourse is central to Alisoun's portrayal in her Prologue and to the exchange of knowledge and marriage in her Tale . Business practice and phrasing are crucial to Alisoun's understanding of life and unite her roles as a medieval woman: spiritual, marital, sexual, and economic. By examining Margery Kempe's Boke (1436–38) and a range of the fifteenth-century Paston women's papers alongside The Wife of Bath's Prologue , this essay demonstrates that this was not just the case for chaucer's fictional Alisoun, but for a variety of women from the medieval English mercantile élite themselves.

Referring to fiction by Charles Dickens and Henry James, this essay considers the moral psychology of counterfactual narratives, studying pressures that invite the imagination of alternate lives. Such "optative" narratives, characteristic of realism, typically become important within particular environments of attention; glancing at economic and ideological factors, the argument focuses on marriage and the loss of children.

Background: Early marriage is a social problem that can have various impacts. This study aims to determine the long-term impact of early marriage compared to adult marriage on the aspects of health, psychology, economic survival and welfare in a comprehensive manner. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional study design. The sampling unit for this study was early marriage families from 3 sub-districts in Ponorogo district, namely Sawoo, Ngrayun and Pulung. The number of samples used were 104 families. The variables in this study consisted of health, husband's psychology, wife's psychology, economic resilience and well-being. The analysis to construct composite variables was polychoricpca analysis. Results: The long-term effects of early marriage can be seen comprehensively using polychoric PCA analysis. Based on the polyuchoric PCA analysis, a composite variable was obtained, namely Maternal Health (λ=2.79; CE 0.35); Infant health (λ=2.23; CE 0.45); Wife's psychology (λ=6.78; CE 0.56); Husband's psychology (λ=5.59; CE 0.56); Wellbeing (λ=2.07; CE 0.30); Economic resilience (λ=1.60; CE 0.40). The results of this study indicate that the long-term impact of early marriage compared to adult marriage is on the poorer aspects of maternal health, poorer infant health, poorer wellbeing and worse Economic Resilience. Conclusions: There needs to be special monitoring of cases of early marriage, so that it will suppress the bad impact.

BACKGROUND: Early marriage is a global problem that harms teenagers. The occurrence of early marriage in rural areas is a common practice. AIM: This study aims to determine the impact of early marriage on aspects of health, psychology, and economic status comprehensively based on the causes of early marriage in rural area. METHODS: This study used a cross-sectional study design. The sampling unit of this study was early marriage families from three sub-districts in the Ponorogo district, namely Sawoo, Ngrayun, and Pulung. The number of samples used as many as 75 families. The variables in this study consisted of health, husband’s psychology, wife’s psychology, and economic status. The statistical test used polychoric Principle Component Analysis (PCA) analysis to obtain health, psychological and economic status variables derived from several indicators. RESULTS: The results of this study indicate that in the healthcare variable, it appears that most of the respondents do not experience bleeding, do not have abdominal pain, and do not hurt on contact. Based on the emotion variable, the wife is more emotional than the husband. The results of polychoric PCA are based on scores that are divided into two categories. The results of the polychoric PCA analysis show that most of the early married couples have worse health and economic conditions, namely, 55% and 65%, respectively. Meanwhile, in the psychological condition of husband and wife, most of them have good conditions, namely, 75% and 83%. CONCLUSION: The impact of early marriage which shows poor results is on the health and economic aspects.

This study analyses the timing of first entry into marriage of Hungarian men and women born between 1916 and 1967. Marriages take place at a considerably earlier age than the West European average, and at the same time show significant differences between cohorts. In the course of the analysis we consider the social and economic circumstances which affect the timing of entry into marriage, and we connect the variables of men and women's educational attainment with their age at marriage. In each cohort we examine the sociological characteristics of those who marry significantly earlier or later than the average for their generation, i.e. than the “normal” age.

Marriage is a physical and spiritual bond in the form of a union between a man and a woman based on the desire to have offspring and a family. Basically, marriage is carried out by someone who has matured physically, psychologically and economically. However, in Indonesia, around 12-20% can still be found marriages that have not been accompanied by readiness from various aspects such as physical, economic, and knowledge of household life. This article uses qualitative and descriptive research methods that will explore more about early marriage and its relation to reproductive health. Early marriage is carried out by someone who is under 19 years old on average who is not ready for various aspects of marriage. This is likely to have an impact on reproductive health for both women and men. Therefore, various aspects of preparation are needed in carrying out the marriage so that efforts to avoid the negative impact of early marriage on reproductive health can be minimized

Families in the Mesopotamian society are based on strong relations, such as marriage, which is accepted by traditions, customs and laws. Many marriage contracts were authenticated on muddy boards (tablets). Marriage is a social, legislative and legal union between man and woman, its aim is to produce children, to establish a family and create social, economic relations that will have an effect on the future. The impact of these relations will affect many of the families that have a direct relationship between the husband and the wife. The economic situations, the social status and the intellectual aspects of the Mesopotamian society have contributed to identifying the marriage system. Although there is no sufficient information about the first aspects of marriage in Mesopotamia, it may be affected by different phases which affect also primitive unions before they were civilized. Through studying the legal items and analyzing the daily documents of marriage, it is revealed that its rules were developed and made complicated in Mesopotamia and they did not differ from the rules of marriage in the Eastern communities of our present time. Marriage has specific rituals according to customs and traditions. Marriage rituals differ according to those prevalent in each community; depending on the environmental circumstances and the social and culture aspects of the community. The agricultural communities are similar to the community of Mesopotamia; marriage in the rural community is a necessary demand up till now, aiming at bringing children to the world or motivating women to help men in their work, such as sowing the land.

AbstractThe high amount of mahr paid by the groom to the bride, among other marriage payments, constitutes a real burden for young Omanis today. This article sheds light on the main factors and motives that determine the amount of the mahr. Paradoxically, new consumerist desires, more highly educated women, and “love marriages” seem to coincide inversely with rising marriage payments. Modernization variables, such as women’s education and exogamous marriages, are not decreasing the mahr as predicted by theories of modernization, nor is institutional regulation effectively decreasing the amount. Beyond its economic aspects, mahr needs to be situated in its social, political, and cultural dimensions to better understand the complexity and variability of this institution. This article answers fundamental questions about how the mahr amount is fixed and negotiated between families in Oman.The study was carried out in Oman in 2016. Thirty-nine semi-structured interviews were conducted in different areas of the country in order to give firsthand information on the evolution, motives, perceptions, experiences, attitudes, and mechanisms related to matrimonial decision-making and familial strategies during the mahr bargaining. In addition to ethnographic research, a general online survey was conducted to provide statistical data on the main economic and non-economic factors that determine the mahr amount.

Child marriages are one of the most improtant reasons of gender inequality in the family in Turkey, as well as a widespread social problem we face is seen all over the world. This situation increases the need for child marriages to be viewed from a different dimension to the phenomenon and to reveal all aspects of this problem. The issue of child marriages are being addressed in the literature in recent years has been the subject of research in different disciplines, but most of the work is focused on a single dimension of child marriage or depending on the specific area it seems they are trying to identify child marriage. In current study, although carried to contribute to the debate on the concept of child marriage, legal issues, medical, economic, social and political dimensions are presented with an integrated approach. In present study, it has been found that child marriages are an important result of observed gender inequalities in social, political, and economic life and child marriages have been found to cause to continue the gender inequality on women’s lives. However, the cultural codes, values and inequalities, the deterioration of the family structure, social movements, and migration are seen to have an impact on child marriages. In this study, many suggestions are offered to solve the problem of child marriages such as ensuring gender equality in childhood, abandoning conditioning on gender roles, and increasing education level and the law enforcement.

The principle of a marriage of Islam is forever, so all efforts must be made so that the marriage bond can continue. However, marriage travel is not always as smooth as it is desired since problems must be encountered that sometimes arise from unheard of directions. If the problem can not be solved, then lead to divorce, divorce itself is the last resort to live. The Syar'iyah Aceh Singkil Court has received, examined and severed every case that came against it, especially the divorce case which is the highest cause of 301 cases from 2014-2016 and continues to increase. Looking at the data the authors are interested in examining the factors that influence the high rate of divorce in the Syar'iyah Aceh Singkil Cour. The results showed that the factors that influence the high number of divorce account that is the absence of harmony in the household, no responsibility husband and wife, low economic, low level of education, moral crisis, third party interference and polygamy unhealthy. Divorce factors are in the background behind the low spiritual and emotional aspects, economic aspects, aspects of education and aspects of the times.

This thesis consists of a short introduction and three self-contained chapters. Chapter 1 develops a model of intra-household specialization and human capital formation for couples, taking into account of assortative sorting on income potentials in the marriage market. I assume people are matching on potential wage growth rates which differ across individuals and are realized through actual work experiences. The model is estimated by a simulated minimum distance estimator with PSID data from 1968 to 2011. I find there is strong positive assortative matching on wage growth rates, which helps explain the correlated wage growth residuals of married couples. If matching is switched to random, there will be more variation in household specialization arrangements and higher observed wage growth rates. The estimated elasticity of substitution between market goods and home production is approximately 0.37. Husband's time and wife's time turn out to be complements in the home production function. Chapter 2 studies a marriage market with two-sided information asymmetry in which the gains from marriage are stochastic. Contracts specify divisions of ex-post realized marital surplus. I first study a game in which one side of the matching market offers contracts, and then study a social planner's problem, finding necessary and sufficient conditions for a truthful direct revelation mechanism to achieve matching efficiency. These conditions become more stringent as the number of agents in the matching market increases. Chapter 3 examines the relationship between women's preference towards marriage and her marital outcomes. I propose using the mother's marital status as a proxy for her daughter's ex-ante preference towards marriage. Using 1980 and 2008 U.S. Census data, I estimate the impact of women's preference towards marriage and their educational attainments on their probability of getting married, and with Heckman correction, the impact on their husbands' earnings conditional on being married.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis comprises three sections. Section One is a novel Silhouettes of Alice, divided into four parts. Parts I and II are set in the fifties and sixties, and Part IV is set in the twenty-first century. The novel highlights the formative years of a girl's life from the age of five to twelve years, leaving home at twenty, and later, at mid-life, getting divorced and starting over. Section Two is a collection of twenty poems that form part of the creative writing component, a new work entitled Country Girl. Section Three is an essay on Views from the Veranda: Visual Maps of Place, Culture and Identity. This area of research highlights the veranda as a significant cultural contribution to the Australian way of life, place and identity. The veranda is featured in both manuscripts, and is integral to themes of love, home, friendship and familial guardianship. In the essay, by utilizing several authors' works, I discuss how the veranda acts as a caesura, a pause on the edge of the house, a reflective space where families interact, educate, communicate, and socialize. The research into the veranda, especially Philip Drew's work Veranda: Embracing Place, has facilitated my inquiry into the social, physical and cultural significance of the veranda. The essay also utilizes Gaston Bachelard's The Poetics of Space, primarily for theoretical insights into spatial environments, and his philosophical and metaphysical theories on intimate places where the mind rests, evoking the imagination, memories and daydreams - the writer's essential tools .

Thesis (MComm)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Despite the importance of studying marriage patterns for a better understanding of colonial life, the subject has received little attention from a purely economic perspective. In his seminal work, European Marriage Patterns in Perspective (1965), J. Hajnal introduces the notion of a European Marriage Pattern (EMP) emerging in the late Middle Ages which became characteristic of Western European society in the early modern period. Hajnal points out several distinct aspects to distinguish Western European marriages from all other societies of the time. While existing literature in this field has typically focussed on the demographic features of marriage patterns, such as the average age of marriage, the share of the population that had never married, and the effects of the EMP on fertility and resulting population growth, little attention has been paid to the underlying mechanisms and causes of the EMP. Using genealogical records to track the ancestry of colonial settlers in South Africa, this study will investigate the evolution of marriage in the Cape Colony. The focus is primarily on the persistence of the EMP and attempt to determine whether it continued to characterise the marriages of European descendents outside of Europe, or whether a distinct marriage pattern emerged in the Cape Colony in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. It will explore the effect that such patterns may have historically had on family size, standards of living and life chances for European settlers at the Cape, with an aim to shed new light on the underlying causes of the EMP, by critically evaluating De Moor and van Zanden’s (2010) three hypotheses of the origins of this distinct marriage pattern.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ten spyte van die bydrae wat ’n studie van huwelikspatrone tot ’n beter begrip van die ekonomiese ontwikkeling en sosiale konteks tydens die koloniale era kan maak, ontvang hierdie onderwerp min aandag vanuit 'n suiwer ekonomiese perspektief. In John Hajnal se bekende publikasie, European Marriage Patterns in Perspective (1965), stel hy die konsep van 'n Europese Huweliks Patroon (EHP) voor. Hierdie patroon het waarskynlik in die laat-Middeleeue verskyn en die Wes-Europese samelewing in die vroeë-moderne tydperk gekenmerk. Hajnal beskryf sekere unieke aspekte wat Wes-Europese huwelike van alle ander samelewings van hierdie tydperk onderskei. Bestaande literatuur oor hierdie onderwerp fokus tipies op die demografiese kenmerke van huwelikspatrone, soos die gemiddelde ouderdom waarop individue trou, die gedeelte van die bevolking wat nooit trou nie en die gevolge wat die EHP op fertiliteit en bevolkingsgroei het. Min aandag is dus aan die onderliggende oorsake van die EHP gegee. Deur gebruik te maak van die Suid-Afrikaanse Geslagregisters is dit moontlik om die herkoms van koloniale setlaars in Suid-Afrika na te spoor. Hierdie studie fokus dus op die ontwikkeling van ’n huwelikspatroon in die Kaapkolonie. Die vraag is of die EHP die huwelike van Europese afstammelinge buite Europa steeds gekenmerk het en of daar ’n ander huwelikspatroon in die agtiende en vroeë-negentiende eeu in die Kaapkolonie na vore gekom het. Die vraag word beantwoord deur ’n kritiese analise van De Moor en van Zanden (2010) se drie hipoteses oor die oorsprong van hierdie eiesoortige huwelikspatroon.

Full textAbstract:
Most scholars of female farmers of sub-Saharan Africa have come to agree that the transition from subsistence to market agriculture has hurt women's independent agricultural enterprises and incomes. Research conducted among a group of farmers known as the Kofyar of central Nigeria provides a case study which runs counter to this general consensus. Kofyar women have not suffered a loss of economic or social independence with the introduction of cash-cropping but have in fact embraced the new opportunities of the markets to produce crops for sale independently of their households. The Kofyar farming system as a whole is outlined, and the system of independent production is described within this context. The recent history of the Kofyar is sketched including, most importantly, their migration into an agricultural frontier, the adoption of yams as the primary cash crop, and the evolution of a complex set of mechanisms for mobilizing labor. The role of women in the cooperative labor network and in household labor is described and women's important contributions to all types of labor are linked to their access to labor for their own independent production. One of the basic arguments is that Kofyar women are prospering relative to other African women because their labor has been so crucial to the agriculture of the Kofyar both before and since the introduction of cash-cropping. The other basic argument for Kofyar women's relative success is that they are successfully exploiting the flexibility inherent in their farming system to maximize their own production. The use of intensive techniques such as intercropping and taking advantage of the flexibility in the timing of certain agricultural tasks on their major crops of groundnuts and yams are examples of this strategy. Women have, in other words, evolved a system of independent production which fits around rather than competes directly with male/household farming. The dissertation goes on to place women's independent farming within the broader social system by analyzing differences between women in marriage and childbearing statuses and histories. Regular differences in magnitude of independent production are found between women with contrasting social characteristics (e.g. age, marital status, divorce history, numbers of children). The portrait of the most prosperous woman is sketched. Kofyar women's activities are seen as an essential part of Kofyar development. The system in general has become more prosperous and women as important contributors to that prosperity are also benefiting as individuals from these changes.

Full textAbstract:
The late 1960s witnessed an unprecedented interest in the environment. One of the intellectual characteristics of this period was the rise of ecocentrism, a form of ecological reasoning that challenged the domination of anthropocentric environmental thinking and practice. The thesis briefly reviews the evolution of ecological forms of reason, and then poses two questions. The first question asks: "What is ecological reason and how does the literature conceptualise it?" This leads to a theoretical analysis of the forms of ecological reason discernable in the literature, and results in a 'matrix of ecological reason'. The three primary forms of ecological reason are described as 'Technocentric Ecology', 'Discursive Ecology' and 'Eco-social Ecology'. They differ in respect to different dimensions of ecological reason, the forms of communication employed (drawing here on Habermas), and the level of commitment to anthropocentrism or ecocentrism. This 'matrix' highlights the contested nature of ecological reason in the literature, and demonstrates that there is, yet, no clear agreement on what it means, or should mean. The second question examines the ecological rationality of environmental practice. The 'matrix' is employed in three case studies of environmental decisions that take place under the New Zealand Resource Management Act (RMA), and investigates the forms of ecological reason expressed in these decision processes. The results of this analysis show that Eco-social Ecology barely registers in these case studies, while the other two forms of ecological reason. Technocentric Ecology and Discursive Ecology are both highly visible in the rationality of the RMA, but with two important qualifiers. First, although there is a commitment to Discursive Ecology on the part of many professionals, there is also much concern that this form of reason undermines quality environmental decisions. Thus, there is significant ambiguity as to the role of the community (an important dimension of Discursive Ecology). This leads to the second qualifier. There is an uneasy relationship between these two forms of reason, at both the theoretical and practice level. This tension underpins the competing visions of the RMA as a scientifically driven process and as a community process. This thesis argues that this tension does not provide for a secure marriage of these two visions.

Full textAbstract:
Using data from a national survey, this study examines income and other key variables (division of labor and work-family conflict) and their relationship to marital satisfaction. This study builds upon the body of research regarding working couples and women's increased participation in the paid labor force as well as evaluates the findings in the context of data gathered from the recent United States census. Results from this study also are compared to the findings of other key studies. Emergent data may be used to prepare counselors to work more effectively with couple clients and to assist employers in the development of work life policies for dual career and dual earner employees. Results from the multiple regression revealed no direct effects of income on marital satisfaction. For this sample, increases in work family conflict contributed to less marital satisfaction as did the presence of children. Increased participation in household chores by respondents' partners contributed to increased marital satisfaction. No differences were observed by gender. Limitations of the study, recommendations for further research, and implications for practitioners also are addressed.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This chapter draws on the anthropological theory of Henry Maine and John McLennan to show how Anthony Trollope’s schematizations of women, property, and circulation participate in the logic of primitive marriage. Maine’s Ancient Law told a modernity story about the movement from status to contract that connected patriarchy, family, and inalienable property on the one hand, and gender neutrality, the contractual individual, and transferable property on the other. In Primitive Marriage, McLennan recivilized patriarchy by positing a non-patriarchal “before” of sexual chaos that made both patriarchy and private property into achievements, but that also paradoxically destabilized their naturalness. In The Eustace Diamonds (1871), Anthony Trollope imagines a world in which property and exchange operate systematically in both economic and erotic registers. The Eustace Diamonds is often read in relation both to William Thackeray’s Vanity Fair (1848) and Wilkie Collins’s The Moonstone (1868), to which it self-consciously refers. The chapter uses these earlier novels to show the difference anthropology makes in the realist plot of the materialistic heroine that Trollope borrows from Thackeray, and in the sensation-fiction plots of theft, rape, and madness that Trollope simultaneously borrows from Collins and repudiates.

The motive behind marriage which changed from one historical period to another has been examined. This chapter largely pertains to the elite and ruling class for whom the motive behind marriage was mainly political. Throughout the period, we get examples of marriage being entered into for enlarging one’s territory, ending enmity, increasing power and status; familial relations were subordinated to political considerations. It led to the institutionalisation of the practice of polygamy. What motivated the rulers to give their daughters to Muslim kings despite their otherwise strict adherence to caste endogamy is sought to be answered. Finally, it is shown how political marriages came to play a significant role in the consolidation of Mughal rule.

Abstract The Introduction uses novels by Jane Austen to set up the book’s argument that critical focus on marriage and law has obscured other economic relations and customs important to women’s financial agency. It also demonstrates how debates about women’s rights relied on different representational strategies during this earlier period and in later decades of property reform. Early nineteenth-century novels such as Austen’s tend to suggest that fathers and inheritance practices are as much to blame as marriage for women’s economic disadvantages, aligning coverture (the common law doctrine that marriage voided a woman’s legal identity) with primogeniture (the consolidation of wealth among eldest sons). This earlier view of women’s marginalization allows us to see the discursive shift that occurs around the Victorian reform of women’s property law, when fiction written after the 1870 Act begins to pit the economic rights of wives against those of sons. Celebrating primogeniture even as they acknowledge problems within marital structures, novels from this later period strike back at women’s growing economic rights by suggesting that their claims will threaten “family property” and that “good mothers” should willingly cede those claims to their children.

Abstract Gaskell’s final, unfinished novel has interested critics for the way its two sibling pairs struggle for scarce resources. Yet the novel attempts to replace competition with common interest, privileging mutual over individual benefit in a model of sibling relations that pools resources, giving emotional connection both an economic counterpart and a grounding in alternative evolutionary strains. By juxtaposing sibling relations with visions of marital unity and discord, Gaskell shows how extralegal economic practices can promote well-being and intimacy within both family ties. The marriage plot of Gaskell’s novel is as much a story of how to be a good brother, sister, or friend as the story of a developing heterosexual romance. Wives and Daughters shows how changing economic relationships can advance the needs of both.

Abstract Daniel Deronda responds to women’s changing property rights through Gwendolen’s story and also its “Jewish plot” of cultural inheritance. Together, the narratives map contemporary tensions between social and legal definitions of ownership. If, as the chapter suggests, the novel’s so-called “English marriage plot” uses diamond theft to stage the competing economic claims of wives and sons, its “Jewish plot” uses stolen diamonds to resolve this familial conflict by consolidating more fluid kinship ties. This “blent transmission” of spiritual inheritance counters the fraught transfer of Gwendolen’s diamonds through a form of inalienable property that, despite “theft,” adheres to its path of descent. Eliot’s expansive conception of family ties beyond marriage, her understanding of non-monetary property value, and her defense of socially sanctioned transmission over property law also point to the shortcomings of that law and suggest some of the ways in which legal rights and individuals’ priorities attending personal property diverge.

Abstract In Our Mutual Friend, John Harmon’s infamous will, which makes his son’s inheritance contingent on marriage to a woman he has never met, showcases the economic dispossession of middle-class women in the 1860s. But is also central to a different economic problem—the failure of written documents to distribute property. Willed property proves to be little more than a fiction in a novel that questions the posthumous power any author can have over his or her writing (whether as property or regarding property). Dickens thus imagines extralegal ways to push beyond the limits of legal ownership, using female characters both to restore Harmon’s estate and to protect a woman’s burial wishes. Ultimately, he attempts to resolve a crisis in gendered and authorial property rights through collaborative exchanges, granting working-class women greater economic roles and testamentary rights in the service of securing the fantasy of stable authorship, patrilineal property, and more reliably directed legacies.

The article focuses on the problems of middle class Indian Muslim family, where a girl’s perspective on marriage is very revolting because she does not see herself as a bride which technically, she is, after her two months marriage. Unmarried girls are perceived as burden in most of the families and society before marriage, nevertheless after marriage she must ‘fit in’ or survive in a family which pretends to be her family. It is not because she is against it but because this marriage is always seen as a qualification for girls to join socio-economic society. The institution of marriage is a significant part for even society; however, it also makes people vulnerable in many aspects whether economically, physically, and psychologically. Life after marriage is a real deal, as a bride has to inhabit in two worlds which are not complete.

Abstract All of the aspects of family and household discussed in this volume affect adult-child relationships, directly or indirectly. Because of the nature of available evidence, the focus is often on adults. There is virtually no material generated by children themselves in the Roman world, e.g. no diaries, paintings, or poems; so it is difficult to reconstruct children’s perceptions, to write of the family and society from the child’s point of view. Nevertheless, there is evidence to suggest that adult-child relationships could often be close and sensitive, so that we might reconstruct attitudes to and treatment of children. There does seem to have been a concept of childhood, a recognition of it as a distinctive phase of human development: there is recognition of children’s needs and distinctiveness in the Roman concern for education (at least for the upper classes), children are memorialized in art and on tombstones (Plates 3, 4a, and 4b), they are represented sympathetically in Latin literature, their needs figure prominently in medical literature, Roman law reflects a con¬cern with many aspects of their welfare, and the range of jobs held by children suggests a certain economic value attributable to them.

There is no doubt that the world today is more interested than ever in the discourse of human rights that sheds light on the covenants and legal charters that govern this domain. Besides that, women are the pivotal pillar of the society; consequently, they are the primary concern in the human rights discourse of different generations. Subsequently, their personal, cultural, political, financial and social rights are recognized; furthermore, their rights are strengthened by official charters . Despite the fact that no one can deny the positive aspects of the human rights discourse related to the role and the status of women in society by spreading human rights awareness and building a strong relationship between men and women based on human considerations; nevertheless, real life is another world, it is paradoxical, declarations and covenants advocate for women’s rights, at the same time women suffer from violence, disrespect, and discrimination. In the era of rights, cultural openness, technological revolution and economic development, women are threatened more than ever by other ways of violence that directly target the natural instinct and the moral values by spreading abnormalities such as homosexuality and gender reassignment. These acts can also be seen in official discourses and adopted by official organizations and governments profiting from the lack of the moral discourse that should be undertaken by the monotheistic religions especially the Islam. Moreover, the human rights discourse accuses the religious discourse of violating women’s rights and raises a number of suspicions around it. This leads us to question the credibility and the effectiveness of the human rights discourse? And to look for the alternatives that the Islamic discourse can offer in order to remove all the suspicions raised around it. These are questions that I try to answer through this article by elucidating the essence of the Islamic discourse that works for spreading values and also to reply on the suspicions that have been raised about the status of women in the Islam. I decided to follow these steps: Introduction: defining the problem and determining the outlines. First: Instinct is a guide to family values and drawing up the relationship between men and women. Second: Polygamy. Third: Guardianship and Alimony responsibility for the family. Fourth: Guardianship in the Islamic marriage contract. Fifth: Females decrease in religion and mind. Sixth: The male has the equal of the portion of two females. Conclusion.

Full textAbstract:
Turbine cooling is a battle between the desire for greater hot section component life and the techno-economic demands of the marketplace. Surprisingly little separates the haves from the have nots. The evolution of turbine cooling is loosely analogous to that of the Darwinian theory of evolution for animals, starting from highly simplistic forms and progressing to increasingly more complex designs having greater capabilities. Yet even with the several generations of design advances, limitations are becoming apparent as complexity sometimes leads to less robust outcomes in operation. Furthermore, the changing environment for operation and servicing of cooled components, both the natural and the imposed environments, are resulting in new failure modes, higher sensitivities, and more variability in life. The present paper treats the evolution of turbine cooling in three broad aspects including the background development, the current state-of-the-art, and the prospects for the future. Unlike the Darwinian theory of evolution however, it is not feasible to implement thousands of small incremental design changes, random or not, to determine the fittest for survival and advancement. Instead, innovation and experience are utilized to direct the evolution. Over the last approximately 50 years, advances have led to an overall increase in component cooling effectiveness from 0.1 to 0.7. Innovation and invention aside, the performance of the engine has always dictated which technologies advance and which do not. Cooling technologies have been aided by complimentary and substantial advancements in materials and manufacturing. The state-of-the-art now contains dozens of internal component cooling methods with their many variations, yet still relies mainly on only a handful of basic film cooling forms that have been known for 40 years. Even so, large decreases in coolant usage, up to 50%, have been realized over time in the face of increasing turbine firing temperatures. The primary areas of greatest impact for the future of turbine cooling are discussed, these being new engine operating environments, component and systems integration effects, revolutionary turbine cooling, revolutionary manufacturing, and the quantification of unknowns. One key will be the marriage of design and manufacturing to bring about the concurrent use of engineered micro cooling or transpiration, with the ability of additive manufacturing. If successful, this combination could see a further 50% reduction in coolant usage for turbines. The other key element concerns the quantification of unknowns, which directly impacts validation and verification of current state-of-the-art and future turbine cooling. Addressing the entire scope of the challenges will require future turbine cooling to be of robust simplicity and stability, with freeform design, much as observed in the “designs” of nature.
