A contemporary retelling of Pride and Prejudice with a Pakistani twist.  In Unmarriageable by Soniah Kamal the five Binat daughters are making their mother crazy. Mrs. Binat is desperate to marry her daughters off, but because of rumors and innuendo about the family, they have had to move away from Lahore.

Alys, the second daughter, is not interested in getting married. She teaches English Literature at a British School for Pakistani teenage girls. Many of the girls will marry before they even finish high school and this depresses Alys. Her eldest sister, the lovely Jena also teaches there.

When the family is invited to the wedding of the year, Mrs. Binat is beside herself with plans to have all of her girls engaged by the end of the wedding ceremony. At the wedding Alys overhears Mr. Darsee and his friends mocking Mrs. Binat and saying how happy they are not to have her as a mother-in-law.

Stung by this criticism, Alys decides to ignore Mr. Darsee and his friends the Binglas. Unfortunately, Jena falls madly in love with "Bungles" Bingla and believes

her mother's prediction that he will propose to her after the wedding. When days go by and Bungles doesn't propose and, in fact, goes back home, Jena and Mrs. Binat are devastated.

Meanwhile Farhat Kaleen, a widower, comes calling on Alys with hopes of making her his bride. Mrs. Binat is ecstatic but Alys does everything she can to turn him against her. Worse yet, he decides to marry her friend Sherry instead.

More hilarity ensues as the younger sisters find themselves in one predicament after another.
