As she told Chagni, she had nowhere to go to. There was nobody to accept her even at her parents' place. And the period she has told us about is a couple weeks after her husband's death. She said "terahvi" nahin hui thi.
All said and done, it was her husband's house. She had a status there. What choice did she have. Uneducated, not knowing any life outside. Where does a woman like this go for help. And what help. How does she earn a living. Technically she is not homeless.
As a daughter-in-law of the house, she does have right to property. But does she know it.
I think soon after, Akheraj must have gotten married and the parents too must have died or been killed.
Life must have settled into a routine with the birth of Kamli, Kamli's child marriage, Kundan. Kundan's child marriage, arrival of Nandini...
One day changed into another and life went on...
