Love Marriage in Kabul: A Memoir is the award-winning debut book by Iranian-Australian documentary filmmaker and academic Sanaz Fotouhi. Winner of the University of Melbourne's 2019 Peter Blazey Fellowship, it is a richly layered account of two journeys: one into the heart of post-war Kabul, and one into the author's own identity, heritage, and purpose.

When Fotouhi and her filmmaker partner Amin travel to Afghanistan to document the marriage of Abdul Fattah and Fatemeh - two young people connected to Mahboba's Promise, a charity supporting orphaned children and widows - they find themselves drawn far deeper into the country's human landscape than any camera can capture. Interviewing orphans, documenting widows, and witnessing the daily realities of women navigating a society in which their choices are rarely their own, Fotouhi realises she must write the stories that film cannot tell.

Woven through with the author's Iranian childhood, her family's own story of migration and education, and her evolving sense of responsibility as a witness and storyteller, this is a memoir about love in many forms - romantic, familial, and humanitarian. Spare, compassionate, and unflinching, Love Marriage in Kabul is an essential Australian contribution to the global literature of witness.

Fotouhi, Sanaz: - "Sanaz Fotouhi was born in Iran soon after the revolution, during the Iran-Iraq war.

She is also the co-producer of two documentary films - Hidden Generation, a short documentary examining the reasons for the increase of women's self-burning as a form of suicide in Afghanistan, and Love Marriage in Kabul, a multi-award feature documentary following a young couple as they try to get married against all odds.Sanaz is one of the founding members of the Persian Film Festival in Australia, and is the former director of Asia Pacific Writers and Translators Inc., a literary networking organisation that brings together people from the creative writing and publishing industries."
