hmm...maybe I cannot imagine those circumstances, but informing her parents...is at least what she should do even in those circumstances.
I have a friend too, whose husband had an arranged marriage with her while happily continuing with his ex... I think she cried and went mad for some days...but then she gave him some decent ultimatums...she said she will take care of her career, while he is supposed to take care of ALL her expenses...and he can happily go around with his girl friend...until she makes something of herself and is in a position to move on !! She even told her parents/in laws ..her decision...she herself is from a small town...but gave a damn to the society
even her parents were from a conservative, small town background, who wanted to ...but she put her foot down that she was facing injustice, and she better be reasonably compensated for that. She even told her parents that they should support her, without giving a damn to the society... and not ask her to "wait" for her husband to "reform", if they don't want her to run away...which will be even more disgraceful for them...so they'd rather let her decide what she wants...
The result...her husband who was nasty with her... was super impressed by her boldness and her attitude...!! He got completely besotted with her...left his girlfriend...and has been trying for over a year now to win his confident wife's love, while she didnt care so much for his love...she is focused on her career...and after her husband's so many efforts has started considering even "working" on her married life...!!...
Not everyone can be so bold...but at least asserting your needs in whatever social circumstances you are in...is alright...I feel..plus its not that sudden, she saw it coming when Jagya was distant from her for years...I feel terrible for her, but seeking support...not letting yourself face injustice is alright I feel...
