Number of divorces are raising among nomads as the situation changed, before it was really bad for a woman to get divorce. Pooran’s mother , according to Fatemeh, her sister in law, has many proposers but she will stay single in order to have the right to meet her daughters. Fatemeh: “getting married is like something that had been written for you even before your birth. It’s all about luck. For me there is no right to decide wether I want to live in the city or move, that’s all my husbands decision and I have to go after him. I call a girl who would live in a city after her marriage a lucky one even if her husband hits her or treats her badly. That’s bad luck! My husband is my second cousin. They came to propose me, I didn’t say a word. My uncle accepted him to be my husband. I always think of divorce. It’s been almost 7 years that I got married. It’s been 7 years that I’m not happy and satisfied with my life, that’s why I’m always wearing black, Black mirrors inside of my hearth.” Fatemeh has 2 kid. A daughter, Tina mohammadi, 2 years old and Farshid Mohammadi, 5 years old.
