But maybe she was short of money or wanted to save them for her expected kids. She finally and understandably died of hunger and thirst. Punhun while trying to find her meets the same fate.
The tale speaks more of stupidity than love. Then we have another tragic love story of Sohni-Mahniwal. Here, the heroine Sohni, unhappily married as if happily married couples exist? This is a perfect example of a married women going astray and indulging in adultery. This also depicts the modernity prevalent at that time whereas the women were allowed to freely swim without having to worry about the moral ramifications.
One night her sister-in-law, must be a pious women, replaces the earthenware pot, which she uses to keep afloat in water, with a vessel of unbaked clay, which dissolves in water and she dies in the whirling waves of the river. In essence, she deserved to be drowned or even stoned to death had there existed the real Shariah. Mirza-Sahiban is another tale in which Mirza is sent to his relatives' house to study, where he meets Sahiban and they fall in love.
He was sent to study but instead started romanticism. When, later in life, Sahiban is to be wedded, Mirza sahib arrives during Sahiban's mehndi ceremony and carries her away. Nowadays we call it abduction. Trying to avoid any bloodshed between her brothers and Mirza, she breaks Mirza's arrow.
So when Sahiba's brother got hold of Mirza, he had nothing to fight with and was killed. When he died in , his son Aurangazeb had already taken power for 8 years. Of course, a great number of children were born of these unions, many of whom, unfortunately, died young. Shah Jahan was a Muslim, as we can see from his constructions, especially the Taj Mahal. These two first marriages are not marriages of love but of reason, coming to break the engagement which already united in the young Shah Jahan, still named by his name of "Khurram", with Arjumand Bano Begum, the granddaughter of a Persian nobleman, who was only 14 years old at that time.
She became the love of his life and for whom he will build the Taj Mahal. They married in and lived, according to the chroniclers of the time, a great love story.
It is on the occasion of their marriages that Shah Jahan offered his wife the name "Bijou du Palais", and it is under this name that we know her today: Mumtaz-i Mahal. The passion that united them was sincere, obviously. At his death Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal to serve as a tomb. One of the most beautiful evidence of love on Earth, it seems.
