کی وجہ سے
Because of a Cause
Cause + کی وجہ سے → result.
How It Works
کی وجہ سے introduces a cause. The phrase itself can describe a welcome, unwelcome, or neutral cause; it does not inherently assign blame.
For a personal pronoun, use the corresponding feminine possessive: میری وجہ سے or اس کی وجہ سے. The agreement is with وجہ, not with the gender of the person.
An action can become the cause through an oblique infinitive, such as دیر ہونے کی وجہ سے. For a full reason clause, compare کیونکہ.

Fog is presented as the cause of the delay.

میری agrees with وجہ regardless of the speaker’s gender.

ہونے makes the event fit before the postposition.

A positive outcome can use the same cause expression.
