Rehaai (Urdu: رہائی, English: Release) is a 2013 Pakistani television drama serial directed by Mehreen Jabbar and written by Farhat Ishtiaq. It will be aired on March 18, 2013 on the Hum TV.[1] The serial stars Noman Ijaz, Samina Peerzada, Maria Wasti, Adnan Jilani, Yashal Nadeem and Danish Taimoor.
Plot Rehaai is the story of Shamim, a woman married off when she was barely more than a child. Her brutish son Waseem is married to Shehnaz, a wife he uses as a convenient punching bag anytime he feels the need to vent his frustration, about anything and everything. The opening chapter revolved around Waseem’s increasingly vocal demand for an heir. Though Shehnaz has an unlikely ally in her mother-in-law, there is nonetheless a steady trickle of neighbors who drop in frequently to remind Shamim and Shehnaz of her inability to bear Waseem’s child. Out of all these “well-wishers,” none is more insidious than chacha Inayat, who regularly fans the flames of Waseem’s desire to father a child. It is evident that Inayat is merely using Waseem’s childlessness as a means to further his own end, but the solution he offers is beyond macabre. Inayat offers up his own preteen child, Kulsoom as the bride, asserting that a younger woman can produce heirs much faster than an older woman such as Shehnaz. Waseem agrees to Inayat’s proposal and threatens his mother and wife of dire consequences if they stand in the way of his gaining the object of his desire. The story follows the consequences caused by this child marriage. This is a social drama that challenges the traditional idea that any girl who has reached menstration can be married off. It examines the abuse of power that often occurs with violent fathers and husbands in Pakistani society.
