7/8/2023 0 Comments The upstairs wife book![]() The political became personal when her aunt Amina’s husband, Sohail, did the unthinkable and took a second wife, a humiliating and painful betrayal of kin and custom that shook the foundation of Zakaria’s family but was permitted under the country’s new laws. But in the 1980s, Pakistan’s military dictators began an Islamization campaign designed to legitimate their rule-a campaign that particularly affected women’s freedom and safety. And for some time, Zakaria’s family prospered and the city prospered. For them, Pakistan represented enormous promise. Her Muslim-Indian family immigrated to Pakistan from Bombay in 1962, escaping the precarious state in which the Muslim population in India found itself following the Partition. Zakaria uses that moment to begin her intimate exploration of the country of her birth. In that moment these twin catastrophes-one political and public, the other secret and intensely personal-briefly converged.
