Some Mrs. Hussains are more equal than others.

Let’s talk about Fareeda aka Mummy, of the “Mummy, yeh aap kya keh rahi hain” fame. When she orchestrates her evil plan against Khirad, she feels that what she’s doing is necessary. She has no guilt over her actions, she feels that it was essential to get Khirad out of her house by any means necessary. The constant use of words such as “gandagi” “ghalaazat” etc signify that she sees Khirad as an impurity that entered her family and it is her duty to purify her house by removing her. 

With this we can analyze two things. The first one is that Fareeda believes in her truth narrative. What she has done is completely justified in her mind and therefore she is not in the wrong. Secondly, the existence of social hierarchies and the necessity to ensure that they are not disrupted. Baseerat, when he nikaahofied Khirad and Ashar, disregarded Fareeda’s power for a girl who has a far lower social standing than Fareeda. Other characters such as Sara, Sara’s mother and Khizar, all had their own separate reasons for taking part in Fareeda’s plan but the only motive for Fareeda was that she needed to ensure order is restored and Khirad knows her place. 

This can be compared to Mrs. Norris and Sir Thomas Bertram’s discussion in the first chapter of Mansfield Park about ensuring that the Bertram girls must always remember their superiority to Fanny Price and Fanny should never forget her place in the Bertram household.

"There will be some difficulty in our way, Mrs. Norris," observed Sir Thomas, "as to the distinction proper to be made between the girls as they grow up: how to preserve in the minds of my daughters the consciousness of what they are, without making them think too lowly of their cousin; and how, without depressing her spirits too far, to make her remember that she is not a Miss Bertram. I should wish to see them very good friends, and would, on no account, authorise in my girls the smallest degree of arrogance towards their relation; but still they cannot be equals. Their rank, fortune, rights, and expectations will always be different. It is a point of great delicacy, and you must assist us in our endeavors to choose exactly the right line of conduct."

Moreover, the constant reminders given by Mrs. Norris to Fanny can be closely linked to Fareeda’s actions. Ultimately, it's all about the preservation of social hierarchies.
