Bound by Tradition

By Salha Al Shaibani

These are not stories of fiction, but echoes of real lives the lives of my family, spanning generations. Their experiences, passed down through whispered memories, shaped not only those who lived them but also those who came after. Through their tales, I pieced together the intricate mosaic of my family history. These vivid images and the emotions they evoked helped forge the person I am today. The events recounted here will, I hope, intrigue and perhaps even shock you. My culture, steeped in traditions vastly different from those of the West, may seem puzzling or even brutal to some. The mindsets of certain characters may appear utterly foreign to Western readers, but I trust that the explanations of our customs will shed light on their motivations. Names have been changed to protect the privacy of my elders. May these stories provoke thought and spark a deeper understanding of a world far removed from your own.
