Background

Dar Joued (Arabic: دار جواد, romanized: da:r juwa:d) was a religious women's prison in Tunis, Tunisia, housing women who had been ruled to be insubordinate or rebellious. Its existence spanned from the 16th century until the mid-20th century, reflecting and enforcing societal norms concerning gender roles and marital obedience within the Islamic legal framework of the time.
