The podcast transcript tells the story of Wassila, the speaker's grandmother, and her forced marriage in the early 1950s. Wassila's grandmother arranged her marriage to the speaker's father, who was a decade older than her. The marriage was a failure, but Wassila endured it and had several children.
She eventually moved out of the old city, prompting her husband to change his behavior and find stable employment. The transcript highlights the issue of forced marriage and the challenges faced by women in patriarchal societies.
The podcast transcript also features Massin Kevin Labidi discussing the practice of sacrificing a sheep during Eid al-Adha and the discrimination faced by girls in Muslim countries. Labidi shares that his mother suffered due to outdated norms and mentions Tunisia's independence and the nationalization of agricultural lands. Labidi's father decides to settle his family into their own space and asks his mother to sell their house. Labidi's mother takes on essential responsibilities and contributes financially. Despite government recommendations for contraception, Labidi's mother refuses, and Labidi himself is born in 1966. The transcript concludes by mentioning the birth of Labidi's third brother in 1969 and a fourth child in 1973, shedding light on gender roles, discrimination, and family dynamics in Muslim societies.
