Anupamaa suffered so much abuse at that household. But fighting it legally would have decreased her mahaanta? A 'good woman' is just supposed to forgive, forget, & walk away empty handed.. No putting her in-laws in jail, no alimony, no compensation.
And now Kavya.. Baa has regularly threatened her with physical abuse. Her living conditions could amount to the family causing her emotional distress. She actually has a real case. But both the times she threatened a legal case against the family were fake & exaggerated ones.
On ITV, only a 'villain' will fight for her legal rights. And even that would be turned into a joke.
