Marriage can wait yet education cannot, prioritise the forked choices smartly!

The nation where the culture of women's face is her husband's business and punish the adultry with stoning. Body of women masked with burqa and such myriad of duplicated under-compulsion rules in Afghanistan proves Afghans existence, rife with the difficulties. 

"A Thousand Splendid Suns" shells a measured chapters of suffering, endurance and resilience of  Afghans women under the hub of Taliban's rule. Though the Khaled Hosseini narrates the situation in Afghanistan via fictional story, it tags the fact of denied discrimination to Afghan women. 

"One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs, or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls". This dialogue bewteen Laila and her father, Hakim before they leave their war wracked city embeds the entire story within its lines for me. So, shall you read and see folks!

Mariam is forced to marry Rasheed by her stepmother when she was just 15 years old.  Mariam's mother commits suicide with no hopes of happiness and Jalil is the puerile root cause for her exhaustion to life. Rasheed became nothing more than the peebles in Mariam's shoe draging her life down and destroying her only hopes of tranquility. 

Rasheed brings in Laila as his second wife amid the destructions from war in Afghanistan and Mariam became their slave in the name of his new wife. Laila gives birth to Tariq's daughter and this growls the tiger mood of Rasheed. Despite series of bitter relation between Mariam and Laila, they nurtures strong bond with the tick of time.
