I hope they treat this track appropriately -if they are showing some sort of a social message - especially in 2022 and in the context of Shah family like Alisha said, Pakhi is not from a conservative family but definitely a hypocritical family regarding values.
In my opinion - no one has the right to force Pakhi to do or not do anything - to go out with Adhik, to have or not have sex, she's an adult and can make her own decision whether they are right or wrong only time will tell.
Also, at the most parents can do is advise their children, guide them, thru past experiences and discuss with them openly - Communication is the key, and discussing outcomes is the key. As one of y'all mentioned Anupamaa was married at 16ish so if having sex at that age (in 1990s) is not an issue then in 2022 at 19/20yr age shouldn't be either. Rather than banning exploring one's body, parents should guide her on how to safely explore be it through contraception or being safe, not being inebriated, or how to choose the right partner etc not just saying NO.
The main missing point I feel Anupama should address is lying/dishonesty & breaking trust - everything else is secondary -
PS: I didn't understand maryada in the context of when Anu was exploring her relationship with Anuj - they were not in any committed relationship, they are consenting adults (and not virgins either - not that it matters) - why can't they have consensual sex - what Maryada is she talking about?
