One of the more disturbing pieces of research to appear in Australia in recent weeks has shown an increased likelihood of domestic violence when women earn more than their male partners.

Sima, he learned, was from the same province in central Afghanistan as he was, and also a Hazara, a historically persecuted ethnic minority. Both of them had fled to Iran as children Aziz because the Taliban had killed his father, Sima because her family had been threatened with similar violence. Every other week for nearly two years, they met at the same bench; a meaningful friendship blossomed into a profound love. Sima, who is a year older, would tell her family that she was seeing relatives. (“If my family knew about this relationship, believe me, I would be beheaded,” she later told me.) In 2017, the couple decided to marry. Aziz’s mother visited Sima’s family to ask for their blessing. They refused. Sima’s parents felt that Aziz, who worked in c
