With absurd promises, he had trapped his grandmother in the mire of her playful desires. Jalil had three religious wives.

Part of the book “A Thousand Bright Suns”
Tariq regularly suffered from headaches.
Some nights Leila woke up and saw him sitting on the edge of the bed, pulling on his shirt under his head, as well as pushing himself back and forth. He said the headaches started when they were in Bagh Nasir and later got worse in prison. Sometimes it was so severe that he vomited and temporarily lost the sight of one eye. It was as if a butcher’s knife had been inserted into his forehead, twisted into his brain, and pulled out on the other side.
“When the headache has just started. “I can taste metal in my mouth.”
Sometimes Leila would wet a cloth and put it on her forehead, which would relieve the pain a little. The small white pills that Dr. Saeed gave him were a little effective. But some nights the headache paralyzed him so much that he just sat and held his head and moaned. His eyes were bloodshot and his nose was watery. At such times, Leila would sit next to him, rubbing the back of his neck.
He was holding her hands and he could feel the coldness of Tariq’s wedding ring in the palm of his hand. They married the same day they arrived in Murray. When Tariq said that they were getting married. Saeed was relieved about this.
He did not want to disturb the stay of an unmarried couple in his hotel. Saeed’s appearance was not at all what Leila imagined. He had a plump face and eyes the size of a pea and a buckwheat mustache that twisted and sharpened their tips. He also had gray hair that combed back.
He was a polite, kind, and dignified man who spoke very thoughtfully. It was Saeed who pulled Tariq aside and gave him some money. Tariq did not accept, but Saeed forced him to do so. Then Tariq went to the bazaar and returned with two thin wedding rings. Saeed also brought a friend and a mullah to the wedding that night, and after the children went to sleep, the wedding ceremony began.
