The author begins by contrasting representations of the Muslim peasant in the North African countryside with representations of Muslim women; the former almost always appears impoverished and disheartened while Muslim women are often typified as happy, relaxed, and surrounded by the luxuries of the harem. Wishing to establish a more accurate depiction of middle-class Muslim women’s lives in Algeria and Tunisia, the author argues that their existences were filled with sadness, misery, and oppression. Citing legal examples from the Koran, the author reveals that polygamy, the repudiation of wives, women’s lack of consent in marriage, prescriptions on domestic abuse, and statutes against women’s education have reinforced women’s inferior social status. Compared to French women, Muslim North African women suffer under much greater oppression, in the author’s view.

The lawyer Giorgio Quartara provides an historical overview of marriage law for the Feminist Congress of Marseilles in 1933. He argues that women are legally enslaved by marriage in the West and, more provocatively, that contemporary understandings of marriage are inherited from the barbarian tribes which sacked the Roman Empire. Proposing the Roman system of marriage as a preferable alternative, Quartara, borrowing from John Stuart Mill, outlines the “personal” and “proprietary” forms of slavery encountered by the contemporary married woman. Quartara details marriage law in a comparative international context, citing numerous Western nations, to conclude that the insistence of controlling women’s property and reproductive capacity is a holdover from medieval Europe.
