This book explores the intimate marital relationships of Indonesian
Muslim married women. As well as describing and analysing their
sexual relationships, the book also investigates how Islam
influences discourses of sexuality in Indonesia, and in particular
how Islamic teachings affect Muslim married women's perceptions and
behaviour in their sexual relationships with their husbands. Based
on extensive original research, the book reveals that Muslim women
perceive marriage as a social, cultural, and religious obligation
that they need to fulfil; that they realise that finding an ideal
marriage partner is complicated, with some having the opportunity
for a long courtship and others barely knowing their partner prior
to marriage; and that there is a strong tendency, with some
exceptions, for women to consider a sexual relationship in marriage
as their duty and their husband's right. Religious and cultural
discourses justify and support this view and consider refusal a sin
(dosa) or taboo (pamali). Both discourses emphasise obedience
towards husbands in marriage.
