Hello Felixi,
First, sorry for your disappointment with the briefness of the article.In fact, it is not even an article and lacks the analytic nature and thoroughness I assume you are looking for.It is just a short abstract highlighting some of the pit stops of the long,painfull and hard way travelled by the institution of marriage.I will search my university's database to see if I can access some more detailed and comprehensive papers tackling this issue
In the mean time,I will try to make it up for you .The next abstract is a summary of a very important paper written by a prominent demographer and social scientists,whose cardinal focus is women in our region.He has devoted a significant part of his time to study their problems.He seems to me well-acquainted with the cultural ,religious and social particularities of our Arabic societies.A friend of mine had been to one of his talks and she told me he is very gentle and sincere;a charming and giving persona as she put it.I highly recommend you get into contact with him if you find that he can be of any use to your line of work.

Cheers
