Gender Stereotyping
Men Women
Ironic:
• The women in Mariah stand out in triumph because of the
strength in their faith. They are selfless while men show
their weaknesses.
• Both women are willing to sacrifice for love and religion.
Cik Yam – willing to share her husband because she
loves him and because she believes that she will be sheltered
under the Golden Umbrella of Siti Fatimah on the Day of
Judgement.
Mariah – gives up independence (her love) to marry the
Imam because he is a man of religion – she is not dependent on
men for a living because it is shown at the start that she is
capable of finding her own income.

Relationship
Husband-wife relationship
• Perfect marriage: Tuk Imam & Cik Yam
• Problematic marriage: Cik Gu Leh & Cik Gu Nab
Ironic: Tuk Imam is the one who wants to take a
second wife not Cik Gu Leh
Pg 13 “Cik Yam jumped up as if struck by a bolt
of lightning. Can that dreaded thing most feared by
women be real, happening to her? Please God, let it
not be true. Why couldn’t it have happened to that
lazy Cik Gu Nab, who couldn’t even fry an egg
properly? Why her? The loving devoted wife, the
model housewife? Why? Why?

Ironic:
• Mariah marries Imam in the hope that he will
guide her in spiritual matters. In actual fact, the
Imam marries Mariah because she reminds
him of his lost love of his youth.
pg 15 “Imam was the man to marry, if she
would ever wish to marry. A man of religion
would be the only person worth marrying after all
those years of self-imposed celibacy.”

pg 6 “Cik Yam,” continued Cik Gu Nab, “Mariah
has been enticing our man to abandon their homes
for her Kedai Merpati. You know her nasi cannot be
that special. Why, I am sure for one she cannot beat
your nasi belauk.” (Cik Yam readily agreed). “But
why do all these men seem hell-bent on eating
breakfat at her place? I reckon, I mean we reckon
she has put ‘something’ (Cik Gu Nab put heavy
emphasis on the word something) in her nasi.”
16
Mariah
• A widow
• Nasi Belauk seller
• Beautiful and sexy
Pg 3 & 4
“Mariah was a nasi seller in Mulo, in fact the nasi nasi
seller in Molo. Every morning at seven sharp she would walk
past the market entrance into the village square and mesmerise
the men with her swaying hips as well as her nasi….. Mariah
also had another asset. She was without a husband…. Mariah
had been married once, but her husband had passed away soon
after. ”

TUK IMAM
• Head of the mosque (Pg: 5)
• Pious (Pg: 11)
• Respectable (Pg: 5)
• Referent to solve problem (Pg: 5)
• Succumb to his lust (Pg: 14-15 )
20
CIK YAM
• Perfect wife
• Good cook
Pg 5 “Her (Cik Yam) culinary skills were not her
only attribute; her housekeeping was also a model to be
followed by other womenfolk in the village. One could
always call at the Imam’s house at any time of the day,
guaranteed to be greeted by a well-turned-out wife, hot
tepung and fragrant surroundings.”
