Secret Spouses, Dependents, and Domestic Distress is Volume Two of The Saudi Marriage Trilogy, which is a fascinating collection of stories about married life in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the 21 century. This volume focuses on the lives of Saudi girls and women through the tribal traditions of polygamy, secret wives and their children, and the domestic abuse within families, particularly against females. Volume Two also reveals the daily lives of the children and the contrasting childhood of boys and girls at home, at school, and in the other cultural contexts of Saudi Wahhabism.
