Love and Marriage

“Amir jan, as for you, I welcome you to my home as a son, as the husband of my daughter who is the noor of my eye.” (Hosseini, 144)

Left: Soraya and Amir




Here, General Taheri, Soraya’s father, declares that he allows Amir to marry Soraya. He trusts Amir to take care of her daughter, and that he will help her turn a new leaf. General Taheri is in agreement with Baba’s request. This is relatable to the theme of family and friendship, as they are starting a new family from their relationship.
