The book raises voice against Patriarchal society. It depicts how women are confined within their homes at the name of religion. The book also portrays the double standard of society. Men are allowed to follow polygamy in marriage, but girls have no say in the selection of marriage partner. Wealth and property are the only base of marriage. Salma portrays how religious morality can result in the twisted morality where rights are confiscated at the nae of religion. The story is compact. Characters present author's views firmly. In my opinion, the book has achieved its objective and is worth reading...........
