I know such women in real life too
They are terrified to leave their parents or in laws house
One reason is financial support second is society boycott - single woman have tough life in india widow or unmarried or divorcee
If a woman defy her family relatives, neighbours, society in general target her treat her like an outcast and her kids too(if she has) even in big cities
I know a girl who ran and married a boy in biggest metro of india her parents boycotted her. Because of that her siblings, relatives, neighbours all stopped talking to her or her kids. Suddenly hubby died young. She was hardly 30. She had only one daughter. Parents refused to accept her, in laws wanted her to leave as she did love marriage now that hubby died they do not want her or her daughter and kicked her out(her father was richest person in city, her hubby middle class you can say like anuj-anupama only). She lost her job in demonetization no food to feed kid or herself or pay rent. She begged her father hes multi millionaire he refused her in laws too refused. She committed suicide leaving 6 year old daughter before she turned 30. And shes no lowly educated she had studied in top 10 colleges of india degree. And her dad was multi millionaire like anuj kapadiya or even more richer. Imagine if such big college educated girl will face such boycotts from parents and relatives and neighbors just for marrying against parents wish for falling in love what about dimpy shes from poor family not so rich and in a small city like amadavad where ppl are not as educated and as rich and modern as this biggest metro city.
What happens once parents or in laws boycott a woman full society takes cue and boycotts that woman. Also all sort of rumors are spread on that woman lies by others even relatives, neighbours or own family and in laws to defame that woman so no one helps her in life. This happens in big big metro cities forget small villages. It is not like USA you dislike a hubby divorce him and live alone or marry another and neither parents or in laws will boycott or spread all sort of rumors on that woman who took divorce or left her parents or in laws house. Just for name sake metros look modern in india same rules as villages runs in the huge apartments or bungalows too
In a patriarchal country like india girls are punished at every step for making any decision independently like dimpy after marrying that killed lover of hers or for speaking truth like devika and malvika who speak as it is on face or being independent like devika etc
That is a major reason anupama kind of woman or kinjal kind of educated or kavya remain subservient to abusive in laws and hubby or exs or parents etc because they are not ready to risk displeasing family and later boycotts that when they are in trouble no one there
Because f woman rebel against anyone parents, hubby, in laws etc they are boycotted brutally and in trouble they have no options for help. Even police, law, govt, society, relatives, neighbours all support family parents and hubby not a woman not a daughter not a wife not a daughter in law. And woman are boycotted by all
That is reason woman bear silently all atrocity abuse first by parents than by hubby and in laws than by son and daughter in law but never raise voice or never leave house. Even if parents hit or discriminate agianst brothers they keep quiet, than in laws and hubby hit and abuse they are quiet finally son and daughter in law abuse they face quietly do not say anyone. That is life of majority woman inside 4 walls of house in india be it mumbai, delhi or up, bihar. Its an open secret does not come out be it super rich family or slum houses. That is why anupama is such a hit.
