| مستخلص: |
Khaled Hosseini, in A Thousand Splendid Suns introduces many female characters who are victimized, sexually harassed and suppressed by both male and female figures, and in spite of all that suffering imposed on them, they challenged the brutality. This paper analyzes Mariam's life after she marries Rasheed and later the life of Laila, the young girl who comes to their marriage, and is cunningly forced to become Rasheed's second wife. The paper talks about the real unbearable condition of women in Afghanistan, who have been discriminated against before, during and after the decades-old conflict. The findings reveal that the portrayal of Afghan women in the novel does correspond with the images of Afghan women portrayed in the Western Media. Hosseini's prime focus is to raise his voice against injustice done to women and the need for the humanitarian spirit of people in the world to bring about a change in the living condition of women in Afghanistan.
