Juha is a novel by Finnish writer Juhani Aho, published in 1911.

Based on Juha, Mikko Roiha directed a dance theater work of the same name, which premiered at Korjaamo in January 2010.

[3] Shemeikka, a travelling merchant from White Karelia, seduced Juha's wife Marja.

Marja left Juha's household in Swedish Finland with Shemeikka to Russian Karelia, where she found his "harem" with many other women serving in near slavery.

When they went to Russia to retrieve her child, Juha assaulted Shemeikka, who explained that Marja left of her own will.
