A Critical Appreciation of Selected Fictions of Manju Kapur

Abstract

Manju Kapur is a well-known female author in Indian literature. She is often recognised as the brightest star in the Indian English-language literature scene. Matrimony is the cornerstone of a family, which comprises of a couple and their offspring. Social institutions such as marriage have been around for a long time and have proven to be the most strong in linking people together in various ways, such as husband and wife, mother and daughter, sister and brother, and so on. Weddings have been used to unite kingdoms in the past. When a woman is considered to be at home, it shows how closely tied domestic life is to one's identity as a "woman." The topic of marriage and the consequences of marital discord are brilliantly represented in the works under discussion. A Married Woman, Difficult Daughters, and Custody are just a few of Kapur's works that explore the complexities and ramifications of marital strife. I'm writing this paper to attract attention to the theme of marital discord and its effects in Manju Kapur's A Married Woman, Difficult Daughters, and Child Custody.
