So what I've gathered from the episodes is that Shazia was Fahad's secretary and lured him into falling for her despite the fact that she knew he was a married man and a father of 2 (this is something she has said herself).
But like you said, it was Suraiya who gave the go ahead for Fahad to marry her because apparently he had not gotten a male heir from Nafeesa. This was a bit confusing...I mean it's not like Nafeesa couldn't have more children...or could she not?
I do agree with you that Shazia is ill treated by Suraiya ... with the just barely there tolerance lined with a dash of contempt...but it is because she understands what Shazia is about...greed.
See it's not like Shazia became greedy because she is treated ill...she is that way...she forced her way into this family...and so it's not entirely surprising that she is treated as she is.
That's not to say that the family members should not treat her better...perhaps if they did, it would melt away her insecurities and then she may mend her ways.
But then that's not likely to happen, because you have some very strong personalities in the Abdullah household, especially when it comes to Suraiya begum. For her it's her way or the highway. Aaliya is nothing like Shazia...but because she was forced upon Zain and the family...Suraiya will treat her the same if not worse then Shazia.
