Here is a beautiful woman who was forced into marrying Pir Sain when she was just fifteen. Her marriage to the evil man was followed by years of torture that stripped her of any dignity. She was left to deal with her husband s brutal and corrupted world. Pir Sain calls himself a man of God, but the cruelty meted out to his wife, several other women, his daughter and his son speaks otherwise. His ruthless behaviour is the cause for Heer s miserable life and extreme exploitation. Every day and night is filled with agony that she could never dare to speak about. As unfair and unholy as it is, all of Pir s actions are carried out in the name of the Almighty. This is a story about how many religious leaders of today take advantage of their power and the faith of believers.

Blasphemy: A Novel

Literature & Fiction

Tehmina Durrani

Contemporary

Penguin India (South Asia Book

Born into one of Pakistan's most influential families, Tehmina Durrani was raised in the privileged milieu of Lahore high society and educated at the same school as Benazir Bhutto. 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 air-conditioned leisure. When she married an eminent political figure she continued to move in the best circles, and learned to keep up the public facade as a glamorous, cultivated wife, and mother of four children. In private, however, the story-book romance of the most-talked-about couple in Pakistan rapidly turned sour. Tehmina's husband became violently possessive and pathologically jealous, and succeeded in cutting his wife off from the outside world, and for 14 years she suffered alone, in silence. When she eventually decided to rebel, the price she paid was a high one: as a Muslim woman seeking 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. After the divorce, she wrote this book about her experiences. When Pakistani publishers balked at the controversial nature of her manuscript, she published it herself.
