Since Ballika vadhu is subjected to the THe CHILD MARRIAGE and Related problems which are prevailed in our society like widow-harassment, Girl education , Women's freedom etc. but now the serial is out of track.
It demands to focus on more evils . One of these evils which has ruined the society, Especially the lower castes of RAJASTHAN is 😲 NAATA PRATHA.
The serial has given platform to most of the evil customs of RAJASTHAN . This custom is ruining the honor of women and seperate child from his mother. In the name of this custom the girls are selled by her father. If that woman wants to leave her husband, her father or any other person who supports her has to pay compensation to her husband. The amount of compensation is decided by the people who hold judicial post ('Panchayat'). If the said amount cannot be paid for whatever reasons the said woman is punished by villagers for leaving her husband. And the punishment can be as degrading as stripping and parading her naked in front of the whole village. But on the contrary if husband wants to leave a woman, he need not give any reason or explanation for doing so. He can enjoy the free will for the same.
The team of Balika Vadhu should work and find more information on this subject.A debutant director Seema kapoor has made a film 'HAAT THE WEEKLY MARKET' on this subject . The film was shooted in a village in JHALAWAR (Rajasthan) where this custom is more popular.
Seeing this type of evils would be a great experience for INDIAN SOCEITY
