Joke? Indian Marriages and Legal System DTWrng pg7 - Page 7

 

What's there that is insulting ?😕

There was no forceful marriage in this programme. No one was forced to do any thing. Each of them made a decision and gave whatever reasons they did for doing so. The divorce does not show the ending of forced marriages. It simply shows that the institution is being taken lightly. Marriage must be a commitment. This show fails hopelessly in showing that people should commit to their decisions no matter the reason they took that decision.

I think we need to make a distinction between choice and free choice here. Yes, the decision  was made but it was made under great duress and not by the application of free will. Purvi did not wake up one fine day and decide to give away her fiance. Neither did Arjun. Ovi used every weapon in her arsenal to achieve her ends. Even a court of law has been known to nullify contracts where it has been duly proved that one party's consent has been obtained by coercion or under duress!  You cannot hold a loaded gun to my mother's head and ask me to make rational decisions. And worse still, except me to suffer the consequences of this decision for the rest of my life.

People make mistakes all the time and they seek to correct them. What if your marriage is a mistake that both of you wish to rectify? Should you stay bound together simply because a hypocritical society would rather you stay unhappily married rather than happily divorced? Is living a farcical life the way to uphold this oh so sacred institution of matrimony?

I completely agree with you that you must take your marriage vows seriously. You cannot up and leave at the first hint of trouble. Marriage requires a lot of effort and compromise. However, when the relationship is based on nothing but compromise, it is sure to be in trouble. Sometimes, it may still survive and other times, it may collapse despite the best intention of both parties.I am glad that Ekta is showing this reality of life rather than protecting Indian marriages!

 As far as the law goes,  Purvi and Onir''s marriage needs to be dissolved legally. I am no law expert  but know enough of Hindu law to say that dissolving it is not such a great challenge particularly where both parties are agreed. Be it annulment or divorce, where there is mutual agreement, it is not such a big challenge.  I hope Ekta shows a semblance of a legal procedure at least on this count.

Its a daily soap and we can't consider anything realistic...

I always wanted purvi to b wd Onir only bcoz onir loves her...bt if she wants to romance her ex she can do that after her divorce nd same goes wd Arjun... Cant they wait for getting divorced... Both r married to other person nd still cant stop romancing... Nd then they ask y people doubt there relation...they give every single hint of their desperation... Pathetic relation they have...
