Jarya
Jarya or
jariya (|singular form}}; ), also
jawari (|plural form}}), was a term often used for female slaves in the
medieval Islamic world. In a courtly context, they could be "
slaves for pleasure" (muṭʿa, ladhdha) or “slaves for
sexual intercourse” (jawārī al-waṭ), who had received special training in artistic skills. In contrast to the
Qiyan, however, they normally did not perform for men other than the man in whose
harem they were placed.
