The Harem Servant.

A 'harem' is not a bordello, seraglio or brothel, but refers to the women's quarters, usually in a polygynous household, which are forbidden to men. It originated in the Near East and is typically associated in the Western world with the Ottoman Empire. Female seclusion in Islam is emphasized to the extent that any unlawful breaking into that privacy is haram ie, 'forbidden'. A Muslim harem does not necessarily consist solely of women with whom the head of the household has sexual relations (wives and concubines), but also their young offspring, other female relatives or odalisques, which are the concubines' servants. The harem may either be a palatial complex, as in Romantic tales, in which case it includes staff (women and eunuchs), or simply their quarters, in the Ottoman tradition separated from the men's selamlik. A hammam is a common bath house.

Titre:
The Harem Servant.
Légende:
Traduction automatique: Un « harem » n'est pas un bordel, un sérail ou une maison close, mais fait référence aux quartiers des femmes, généralement dans une maison polygyne, qui sont interdits aux hommes. Il est originaire du Proche-Orient et est généralement associé dans le monde occidental à l'Empire ottoman. L'isolement des femmes dans l'islam est mis en avant dans la mesure où toute intrusion illégale dans cette vie privée est haram, c'est-à-dire « interdite ». Un harem musulman n'est pas nécessairement composé uniquement de femmes avec lesquelles le chef de ménage a des relations sexuelles (épouses et concubines), mais aussi de leurs jeunes descendants, d'autres parentes ou odalisques, qui sont les servantes des concubines. Le harem peut être soit un complexe palatial, comme dans les contes romantiques, auquel cas il comprend du personnel (femmes et eunuques), soit simplement leurs quartiers, dans la tradition ottomane séparés du selamlik des hommes. Un hammam est un bain commun.
