Petition of a woman to Amin al-Sultan

Petition of a woman to Amin al-Sultan

A petition, to Amin al-Sultan, written by a woman who was converted to Islam from Judaism by the Friday prayer-leader four years ago. She was forced to marry and now her husband has fled his creditors and left her with their young children wandering in Tehran. She has taken refuge in Amin al-Sultan’s house in hope for some help in the cold weather.
