Description
Tehmina Durrani's memoir recounts her experiences as a woman in a patriarchal society. Born into a wealthy family in Lahore, she was raised with expectations that dictated her life path: marriage to a prosperous Muslim and leading a sheltered existence. However, Tehmina defied these conventions when she married Mustafa Khar, one of Pakistan's most prominent politicians. The couple's public image was glamorous, but their private relationship was marked by possessiveness and jealousy. After fourteen years of marriage, Tehmina sought a divorce, facing severe consequences, including financial loss and custody disputes. The book chronicles her journey as she navigated the complexities of her faith and her desire for women's rights. Despite initial publication challenges, Tehmina's story has had a profound impact on Pakistani society, making it a powerful and thought-provoking read.
