In chapter three Mohsen Ramat is in house with his wife Zunaira. Mohsen seems to be a respectful husband to Zunaira. As Mohsen and Zunaira begin to talk she asks him why he did not come for lunch and he explains to her that he felt very sorry that he missed it but he became very confused today and could not find his way home. Later as they are talking Mohsen feel that he needs to confess to Zunaira that he took a part in stoning the prostitute earlier that morning. When he tells her of this Zunaira then becomes very angry and leaves their conversation and goes to the kitchen.
Mohsen is very different from Mirza because mohsen actually loves his wife and believes that she is something special. Mirza on the other hand think that women are pretty much just something for him to own. He does not believe that they should be loved or treated with respect. But I do not see how two men from the same culture have totally different views on how to treat women because you would think that since they were raised in the same culture they would both think that its appropriate to treat them the same.

I don't think they are the same at all. Mohsen is an educated person from the city. So is Zunaria, who used to be a magistrate. Atiq is a war vet who got his job at the jail from his military buddies.
Less info on what happens in the chapters. I'm more concerned with comments that use the following criteria: http://farrellworldcultures.pbwiki.com/Journal+Blog+Writing
Mr. Farrell
I agree. It is confusing how two men from the same culture have completely different views on how to treat women. I wander if Mohsen is not Muslim. It also angers me how Atiq treats and views his wife, he is a pig.
