Palestinian architect Suad Amily was forced to live with her mother-in-law under curfew for 40 days in Ramallah during the 2002 invasion. She's written a book about this, Sharon And My Mother-In-Law, and talks to the show about living under Israeli occupation. Also on the programme: In a country where it's not uncommon to have four wives, will polygamy harm Turkey's EU membership prospects? Dealing with your mother-in-law - women in England and the Middle East compare notes on whether she should be feared or revered.
