My Cousin, My Husband
Argues that the phenomenon of men killing their daughters, sisters, and wives over matters of sexual honour is not an aberration specific to Islam. Rather, it is part of a pagan Mediterranean legacy of marriage between first cousins. This work charts the rise of that Mediterranean social innovation she calls the 'Republic of Cousins'.
