Interesting. This suggests Sufi writers didn’t address complementary problems of their period and hide the facts behind romanticism.

There is a long debate in literary circles of Sindh about Sufi poetry and Karo-Kari (honor killing). They say its a recent phenomenon and if that was not the case characters like Sohni (who used to meet her lover secretly though she was married), but this didn’t earn her title of bad woman. In Shah Latif’s poetry, a character Moomal was seen by her lover Rano with a guy ( in fact that was Moomal’s sister in disguise), but Rano didn’t kill her and left some of his possession there a left. This again show that Karo-Kari was an alien concept in Sindh just 2 centuries ago.

One word to describe them: hypocrites ?
