The novel My Feudal Lord explores the story of Tehmina Durrani, raised in one of the most influential families of Lahore. But her marriage to one of Pakistan’s most eminent political figures, soon turned into a nightmarish experience for her. Her violent and over-possessive husband forced her to endure in silence for fourteen long years till she broke silence through her autobiographical work ‘My feudal Lord’. Her story provides extraordinary insight into the deplorable position of Muslim women caught in the vicious circle of Muslim society.
