Laila feels incredibly guilty for her choices and cannot look Mariam in the face during the wedding ceremony. While Laila had every intention of fleeing Kabul prior to discovering her pregnancy, she knows the only way to support the child is to marry Rasheed. Laila rushes the ceremony because she knows that the constant nausea she feels is because she's pregnant she knows if she and Rasheed do not consummate the marriage soon, Rasheed will figure out that Tariq is the baby's father. Laila insists that she doesn't want a dress or any fuss but just wants to get married as quickly as possible. When Rasheed brings Laila a wedding band, she is horrified to learn that he purchased it by selling Mariam's old band.
