Muslim women-symbol of honour for their men-speak out and take us into the volatile heartland of Islam, the world's fastest growing religion. Price of honour recounts a wide range of often horrific stories about the ways in which Muslim women are abused and oppressed by their menfolk, and show how restrictions on women act as barometer for measuring the growth of fundamentalism.
