“…Hence, I turn my gaze to the patriarchal structures in the interior of the family that set a normative framework for love. Burgeoning ethnographies on marriage and love in South Asia and the Arab world illustrate how familial and kin obligations are at work in arranged and love marriages and unsettle how these are often conceived as distinct categories (Allouche 2019;Maqsood 2021aMaqsood , 2021bMody 2008). As Perveez Mody (2008) shows in the context of Delhi, "arranged-cum-love marriage" is the ideal because it affirms the norms stemming from religion, kinship, and community, while love marriages are considered a threat to established social hierarchies and authority.…”

This article seeks to contribute to a scholarly conversation about love beyond dominant assumptions of romance, desire, and attraction by exploring what love comes to mean as situated in and governed by violence and marginalization in the shadows of political conflict. Based on ethnographic fieldwork among Muslim women in Palawan, the Philippines, I unpack the empirical notion of learning to love as it occurred in their stories of marriage. The article argues that learning to love reflects the women's struggles to survive socially, emotionally, and materially, and to make a life and selves. In this way, love is rooted in patriarchal relationality, the cultivation of moral and religious ideals of womanhood as well as in the social and material dependency in the family revealing love as familial togetherness, attachment, and support. On this basis, the process of learning love captures the women's work of learning to live, reclaiming sociality and social worth within the violent and confining conditions that structure their lives.

“…In view of that, a low level of uncertainty is probably due to the Lebanese culture that views love and romance as a lifelong commitment, and people choose their partners to fit their religious, political, and economic status even from a young age. According to Allouche (2019), romantic relationships within the Lebanese society are seen as a bridge for marriage.…”

The purpose of this thesis is to study teenage romantic relationships on social media platforms by testing if media literacy can ameliorate the problems that teenage couples face online. Social media can enrich romantic relationships, but they can cause problems such as relationship uncertainty, partner surveillance and online partner aggression. Media literacy encourages safe and appropriate use of media; hence, it can have a substantial role in teenage romantic relationships online. The significance of this research lies in its ability to test and analyze how media literacy can create a safer space for teenagers in online romantic relationships. Through testing teenagers’ ability to access, analyze, evaluate and communicate online, this thesis will examine the relation between Media Literacy Level and the romantic problems faced online. This study used a survey questionnaire physically distributed on school campuses. The questionnaire was filled out by 398 teenagers between the ages of 15 and 18, attending six high schools across Lebanon. Research findings validated that media literacy is negatively associated to relationship uncertainty and online partner aggression. However, the finding also opposed one of the research hypotheses, revealing that media literacy is positively associated with partner surveillance.

Tunisia's Modern Woman

Claims over women's liberation vocalized by Tunisia's first president, Habib Bourguiba began with legal reforms related to family law in 1956. In this book, Amy Aisen Kallander uses this political appropriation of women's rights to look at the importance of women to post-colonial state-building projects in Tunisia and how this relates to other state-feminist projects across the Middle East and during the Cold War. Here we see how the notion of modern womanhood was central to a range of issues from economic development (via family planning) to intellectual life and the growth of Tunisian academia. Looking at political discourse, the women's press, fashion, and ideas about love, the book traces how this concept was reformulated by women through transnational feminist organizing and in the press in ways that proposed alternatives to the dominant constructions of state feminism.
