Abstract

Using the qualitative textual analysis approach, this study seeks to explicate that in novel Fasana   Mubtala, Nazir Ahmed criticized the system of polygamy and its results specifically focusing at how a man invited a number of problems by the second marriage. He not only destroys his home but also becomes restless. He also eludes those circumstances in which Islam permitted four marriages were different and such practice cannot be adopted as a hobby; he also explained that with the second marriage not only women suffer but men also undergo immense problems. He ended his novel with the death of the hero because of problems emanating from the second marriage.

Keywords: Patriarchy, polygamy, 19th Century colonial India, family, Ashrafia, Urdu Novel.
