Not Without My Husband

Not Without My Husband


Not Without My Husband (German title: Nicht ohne meinen Mann) is a book written by Justine Harun-Mahdavi. The book is the memoir of Justine and her life as a German woman with her Persian (Iranian) husband, Masoud Harun-Mahdavi, in Iran before and after the Iranian revolution.

Justine came to Iran in 1968 and lived with her husband and two children in different cities (mainly in Kerman, Mashhad and Tehran) in Iran for more than 11 years. Her husband Masoud was in different political positions. He was twice the Grand-Mayor of the holy city of Mashhad. He also was once Mayor of the capital city Tehran. Due to his popularity among the people, he even was a member of the new government during the first months of the Islamic Republic. But he soon understood that the theocratic regime was not on the way to bring democracy and freedom to the Iranian people. So Justine and her family left Iran in September 1979. Her husband is an active and well known member of the democratic Iranian opposition called "Jebhe Melli". She visited Iran together with her daughter and son again in 2000. Justine is today living in a town close to Munich in Germany. She is always supporting the Iranian people, since she had made best experiences as a Christian German woman in Iran. She pleads for freedom and democracy in Iran and tolerance for all nations, religions and cultures the world.
