This book explores the ramifications of being infertile in the
medieval Arab-Islamic world by examining legal texts, medical
treatises, and works of religious preaching. Sara Verskin
illuminates how attitudes toward mixed-gender interactions; legal
theories pertaining to marriage, divorce, and inheritance; and
scientific theories of reproduction contoured the intellectual and
social landscape infertile women had to navigate.
