Narrative Conducive To Books My Feudal Lord

Born into one of Pakistan's most influential families, Tehmina Durrani was raised in the privileged milieu of Lahore high society. Like all women of her rank, she was expected to marry a prosperous Muslim from a respectable family, bear him many children and lead a sheltered life of leisure.

Her marriage to Mustafa Khar, one of Pakistan's most eminent political figures, soon turned into a nightmare. Violently possessive and pathologically jealous, Mustafa Khar succeeded in cutting her off from the outside world. For fourteen years, Tehmina suffered alone, in silence.

When she decided to rebel, the price she paid was extremely high: as a Muslim woman seeking a divorce, she signed away all financial support, lost the custody of her four children, and found herself alienated from her friends and disowned by her parents.

When this book was first published it shook Pakistani society to its foundations. Here at last was someone who had succeded in reconciling her faith in Islam with her ardent belief in women's rights. Tehmina Durrani's story provided extraordinary insights into the vulnerable position of women caught in the complex web of Muslim society.

Crit Epithetical Books My Feudal Lord

I already knew before I began reading this book that I would have lots of very strong opinions about it. That was because every time I brought it up, everyone around me had not only heard of it, they were all very opinionated about it too. Even the people who hadnt read it were aware of the particularly controversial bits about how both the author as well as her husbandthe villain in this talehad left their previous spouses to begin their married life, or how Durrani, whose narrative solely

I agree with Piyush Verma - the book lacks sincerity. It's quite evident that that the writer is trying too hard to get a tear.Also, most of what happened with her was self-inflicted (I don't mean the violence of course). It is SHE who broke another woman's marriage and home, and then spends the rest of her life complaining about having gotten a raw deal.Still, if only for her horrible experiences, I was inclined towards giving this book a 3-star rating. One sentence in the whole book totally



Perhaps there is dramatization and the perspective is biased--aren't autobiographies always, to some extent, biased in favour of the writer? She may have tried to throw much blame on others, but it is not entirely ill-founded, as all but the most fortunate (or, shall I say, naive) women know who live in this society. Neither has she left many of her own wrongdoings unrecorded, as the judgements passed on her by most of these reviews, prove. Many say she brought it all on herself, or that Durrani

The book lacks sincerity. The author tries too hard to portray herself as totally naive and innocent, preyed on by a tyrannical and cruel husband. "I refused to let go because of the kids," she maintains. Seeing that she left her first daughter to marry her feudal lord, she doesn't come off as such a devoted and loving mother for me to buy that argument. It does not come off as a wolf-sheep combination at all for me to be entirely sympathetic to her ordeal. The worst part was when her baby

My feudal lord was just an ordinary Any pakistani household story, with Only politics making it little special. This is a story of most of the pakistani women, so she faced nothing extra, And whatever she faced during her marriage with Khar was the result of her own action, She did the same to Mustafa's Ex-wife sherry, which happened to her by her own sister Adila. She was an adulteress and was cursed for breaking sherry's marriage with mustafa, at the time when sherry was pregnant. If mustafa
