Absolutely and one of the reasons that I feel is behind this decision of Qudsia's is making me hate her. Remember when Ayesha had found out that Talal was getting married, she had come to Qudsia and told her that let us go and speak to Talal's family. Let us ask for their forgiveness. Qudsia had refused point blank saying she wouldn't demean herself by doing so. Basically she had given more importance to her own dignity, reputation,etc over Bano's happiness. Since she had been the one to go and tell Talal's mother to keep her son away from Bano, insulted them, etc., Qudsia didn't want to go back and apologise for these actions of hers since it would mean bending before them.
She is doing the same thing now with Ayesha. Basit had been quite rude to her when Qudsia had gone to speak to him. That insult to her was more important than anything that Ayesha was going through. It is important that she decided to get Ayesha married to Yawar immediately after returning home. Had she come to this decision after Basit came to their house (when Qudsia had thought he had come to apologise and speak to Ayesha so as to fix things but instead he left after scolding Ayesha again), still we could have thought Qudsia's anger was because of how Basit treated Ayesha. But no, she decided this solely because he had insulted her. This is why I am hating her so much these days.
As for Ayesha and her dad, that is completely terra incognita. We have no information on even when he passed away. I guess he passed away at a time Bano might have been in school or college, so the early years after his death must have been difficult for them until Bano got her job. But I feel Bano and Ayesha being the elder daughters, must have had a better memory of their father and so his influence is seen in them. Zoya who is like 15 years at least junior to Bano, must have been a baby when he passed away and so she has only her mom as a reference to understand how families work. Ayesha is closer in age to Zoya but she might have been around 10-12 yrs old when her dad passed. Bano might have been 18-20 yrs old and Zoya 3-4 yrs old.
