Murad's eldest sister, Nudrat has been married off to their maternal cousin who is unemployed.

The third sister, Itrat did a love marriage against her mother's wishes so now she has no ties with her second son in law. Murad's youngest sister is Naggi who is also unmarried.

Murad has been loyal to his mother all his life and she desperately wishes to see her son as groom now but she wants to choose Murad's wife herself only.

On the other hand, Mannat is a strong, independent, intelligent girl who is the only sister of four brothers. She is very dear to her family thus named Mannat, a wish.

Mannat also gets infactuated by Murad, sharing her number and further waiting for his calls. Eventually, falling in love. Mannat starts hiding her relationship with her family. And now her eldest brother has developed doubts on her. On the other hand, Murad's mother has also overheard his phone call to Azra and misunderstands Azra as his love interest.

Murad realizes that his mother and mannat's eldest brother will never approve of their love marriage hence, they plotted to make it look like an arranged marriage. They hired Shamim Ara, the matchmaker to convince both their families of their relation. After some drama the families are convinced and finally their marriage is fixed, apparently as an arranged one.

Complications begin when Murad's mother starts putting forth her demands Infront of Mannats family. She asked them gold as a gift for Mannats sister in laws & for herself. Moreover she sends off Mannats dowry truck because it only had furniture for Murad's room and she wanted it for the whole portion. Even after this Mannats family fulfilled all her demands. On the wedding day, she again created fuss on haq mehar issues & tried to take baraat back. But issues eventually resolved and finally Mannat reached Murad's house as his bride.

On the wedding night, Murad's sister, nudrat asked him to go and bail his husband as he was arrested and locked up. Murad hesitantly said yes, but realized that mannat has fallen unconscious in their room. He rushed to her and called the doctor, showered her with care and love. Murad's this attention towards his newly wedded wife was not digested by his mother Razia & nudrat.
