Abstract
This study is based on the textual analysis of the short stories; The Wedding of Sundri (2008) and Pirani (2006). The study applies the theory of Gendered Otherness by Simon de Beauvoir. This theory highlights women`s position as others, partial and secondary to men. There is no existence of women without the association of men, while, man is the dominant, powerful and decision maker. He takes all decisions of women’s lives. It is in fact the man who makes the life of woman meaningful and purposeful. The findings of the research correspond to the theory that in rural Sindh women are suffering from gendered otherness. They are partial and secondary to men. Women cannot take the decisions of their lives’ as that of Sundri and Pirani. The marital decision of Sundri and Pirani is decided by their fathers without their consent. Women tolerate the violence of men at their home just like Naseema. Due to gendered otherness women are suppressed and marginalized. They never develop the habit of self-expression like Sebhagi and her sister. Women never built self- recognition and identity within the society.
