The main criteria/tool in a marriage is trust, understanding and communication. When you don't have either one of it, then this is what happens in ArMan's life which has been clearly pictured to us. They have so much of love for each other but due to the miscommunication they lost 18 years of their life. This is when the third party (devils) dwells in your life. 

, Zeezee!! But Archana is not going to do this, she is too happy in her happiness to sacrifice for her daughter, Purvi. She could say to Ovi, give up Arjun if you want your dad's happiness and if you want me to return to him as wife and to you as mother, tit for tat , eye for an eye, I will teach you to bargain and barter human beings. Of course, this is not going to happen not for the reasons some may cite that she has gotten her happiness back after 18 years and deserves it or that her children are adults and she should steer clear of their affairs or that both girls did what they did of their own volition and so she is absolved from the situation. Yes, she is deserving of her happiness, no question about that but as a mother her first priority unfortunately should be her children's happiness and teaching them right from wrong. Stepping aside from the matter because they are adults will not cut it. If we can find excuses for Savita for meddling in her adult son's life because Savita wanted to save Manav (he was several years older than these 3) from his wife, we should expect Archana to meddle too, what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Archana instead comes into the house too happy and makes do with an ice breaker kind of convo, "oh, how can you smile with the pain you are hiding", the sanskari daughter responds "anything for you" and that paids put to the daughter's sacrifice.

Zeezee, I agree with you, whether 18 years or 50 years, Archana should tell Manav she cannot accept what Purvi has done or what Ovi has done and that until matters are set right, she cannot return to him as she was used by both girls. I would force Ovi to understand and give up on Arjun.

Zeezee, you are right, sisters marrying the same man is not uncommon. We have an Indian family down our street here where the man brought his wife's sister to take care of his kids and be an unofficial wife to him as his wife is an invalid. Marriage is a sacred institution for what it entails, trust, love, friendship, commitment. If these are not present, the essence of marriage is lost and to uphold a hollow institution sans those important elements only serves to make a mockery of it. Sans those elements, it is not a marriage but a convenience or contract, in this case a barter exchange and hence meaningless and void.

That said, if I were Arjun, I would get the marriage annulled and get out of Mumbai in a jiffy to escape the clutches of both the VI girls.

I  beg to differ here .

i think ovi is criminal bc she did deal with purvi who buy arjun so purvi also the person who accept deal and sold arjun happiness so the person who do crime and who help in crime both guilty same time.archana not only purvi/ovi's mother,she will choose between ovi/purvi to stay with ,there is teju also,she didnt do any deal why archana willnt think of teju,the girl already didnt get love of her mother these 18years for her parents mistake so why archana willnt think of it?archana only think of purvi not about others?teju herself didnt leave her mom at the age of 1year old,so why she isnt deserve archana?bc she is ovi's sis?

Kool, wrote you a long post, IF swallowed it :( will be back in a bit.

Poas, not saying Archana should choose Ovi or Purvi over Tej, she should do the right thing as a mother. Tej didn't ask to be abandoned at one but both parents were at fault including the grandmother, of course, for what transpired. To set things right from 18 years ago, you cannot forget the immediate situation on hand. Also, by outing the truth, it has already been set right in a way. Enjoying conjugal bliss with Manav and being a mom to Ovi is not the only way to accept Tej as a daughter. Just my POV. And as my original post already stated, I understand other reasons may be cited but her duty as mother is to ensure her children's happiness (if it is within her power and/or if she is able to correct the situation) before accepting her own.

Also, not to forget Archana is the one who chose Sachin over her entire kaandhaan and maybe if she had not made that foolish decision, Purvi would never have been put in a situation to give up Arjun for her mother's sake as her Aai would have already been back with her baba giving Ovi no advantage in the barter game. Just a thought.

Kool.. may be I do not fully get your sarcasm here.. but..
