Kabir is the epitome of the "unsuitable boy" in this story of Hindu marriage customs. His main failing is the unfortunate circumstance of having been born a Muslim. Kabir is not overly religious and is atypical of the Muslim male looking for a plurality of wives. He falls in love with Lata almost from first sight and pursues her relentlessly.
