Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 25: June 15, 1890It needs no argument to convince any one, that many of such unions prove extremely um happy, and for the relief of unlucky couples, very accommodating divorce laws are to be found in Turkey. Among the many reasons why a husband should be granted a divorce are, adultery, an incurable bad breath and a scolding tongue on the part of the wife.A Turkish wife has but few privileges, ac cording to our ideas, but she has much liberty when she talks that is, she assumes the free dom of saying just about what she pleases when she becomes angry, and about all anyone can do is to try and pacify her, for to reason with her is usually out of the question. When she becomes vexed on the street, no one will touch her but those who are forced to attend her and they will always try to pacify her by let ting her have her own way. The police generally keep far away when a Mohammedan woman is raging, as it is much against their custom for one man -to touch another man's wife.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
