    Mariam

    Mariam is one of the central characters in Khaled Hosseini's novel "A Thousand
    Splendid Suns." She is a complex and deeply compelling character whose life journey is
    a poignant reflection of the struggles and resilience of Afghan women during decades of
    political turmoil and conflict. Mariam's story is one of suffering, endurance, and
    ultimately, redemption.
    Mariam is born out of wedlock, which makes her an illegitimate child and the source of
    shame and disappointment for her mother, Nana. Her father, Jalil, is a wealthy
    businessman who keeps his relationship with Nana a secret and visits Mariam only
    once a week. Despite her circumstances, Mariam longs for her father's love and
    acceptance, which she never truly receives. The early years of her life are marked by
    loneliness and isolation.
    As Mariam grows older, she is married off to a much older man named Rasheed, a
    traditional and abusive husband. She is forced to leave her mother and the only home
    she has ever known to live in a distant, war-torn city. Mariam's marriage to Rasheed, a
    man who represents the oppressive gender dynamics of Afghan society, is a turning
    point in her life. Her husband's physical and emotional abuse becomes a constant
    presence in her life, and she learns to navigate the harsh realities of being a wife in an
    unforgiving and patriarchal society.
