Widows’ Status in Ali Mohammad Afghani’s Madam Ahou’s Husband

The current article meets the status of widows at Pahlavi Time at which the observing of traditions leads them to victimization. On the very important front, widows are not understood by traditional male standards- they are seen unclean. Therefore, the significance of this study is to imply the miseries of these victims’ suppression in the novel Afghani’s Madam Ahou’s Husband. The research work examined that the widowed Homa Zandy is so gritty and irrepressible woman whose remarriage to Seyed Miran Sarabi and whose leaving with Alborz is just a means of escaping her first and second widowhood. The applied literary Feminism attempts to re-examine widow’s position in the society at Mohammad Reza Pahlavi’s Time. In conclusion, this feminist literary analysis ultimately demonstrates that the character of Homa serves as a powerful indictment of the oppressive social conventions of the Pahlavi era. Her actions, while appearing as personal choices for survival, are revealed to be direct responses to a system designed to marginalize and penalize widowhood. The study therefore asserts that the novel Madam Ahou’s Husband functions not merely as a narrative of individual struggle, but as a critical social commentary, exposing how patriarchal traditions systematically victimized widows, forcing them into desperate acts of rebellion to reclaim their autonomy and identity.
