A Turkish woman in Germany explains why integration repeatedly fails. A story of love and slavery, of honor and respect, and of the most important event in the life of a Turkish family: the wedding. This very personal book is a key to understanding Turkish-Islamic culture and dispels multicultural illusions. Zeynep is 28 years old, a mother of three children, and has been living in Hamburg for twelve years. She manages her extended family's household and does not speak a word of German. She only leaves the apartment for Quran classes. She is an "Import-Gelin," an import bride, a modern slave. Thousands of young Turkish women are brought to Germany each year through arranged marriages. Democratic fundamental rights do not apply to them, and no one cares about their fate. The Turkish-Muslim community talks about cultural issues.
