Discussion

Arabic & More (asker) Mar 26, 2012:
Thank you to those who suggested various translations for this word. Of course, I have looked in the dictionary to see all of the options mentioned and more, but I am still not 100 percent sure what the author means by إزدواجيةin this context. Internet marriage diminishes the role of the family in this important institution, but what is the "dual role," "duality," or "duplication" being spoken of here?

duplicity

playing two different roles in one situation. When a father of a bride says I have the final word in this marriage, but the fact is he can not enforce his opinion on anyone.
Example sentence:

When you scrutinize our life, you will see duplicity in its purest form, because the man who prays and lives by the book in front of all people is the same man who stabs his fellow employees at work.
