Religious fundamentalism, fanaticism and gender bias always go hand in hand, but both support each other. After the introduction of the Hadood Ordinances, in Pakistan, in 1979, the gender bias in the law system is renewed. The novel expresses some strong repudiation of empty and rigid Parsi traditions. | | Keywords : | | - Religious fundamentalism,
