Who knew that the first marriage broke apart from Anandi...Jagya??,,So who should she have gone to find it out ??
She should have asked Jagya and then applied her own logical assessment over and over again . Since Jagya blamed it on Anandi's gawarpan, he would have presented that excuse too (since that's what he told all his family). For any sensible girl, it's enough to question a man's character if he claims to abandon his wife just because she is not modern enough or up to the mark.
applied her own logical assessment???so you're agreeing that this point, she couldn't have verified with the villagers!
Did he do anything to his wife? What is the state of the wife now?
Like left his wife...!! How many people in real life think what is the state of someone's ex!!
I know people in real life who finds out what happens to the ex, because that's precisely where the answer to the future life lies. Has the first wife completely moved on? Is there a chance my husband might be in touch with her or contact her? The point is not what Jagya is doing, the point is did Gauri even spare a thought for these questions? And of course, researching on the legality of the marriage is topmost priority.
I know many people too in real life, prefer not to find out the ex...see whats the ex upto etc etc. I have also maintained finding about the legality was important though.
What kind of person is this man I am planning to spend my whole life with? Is he trustworthy even after lying to me for 5 years?
Who should she have gone to ask how "trustworthy" Jagya is?? She was the one who spent 5 years with him...and now she knew everything what was hidden behind the closet too!...Now who else could have confirmed his trustworthiness----the villagers??
She should have herself tested Jagya for more time. The Jagat she trusted had failed in his trust test, so should she have waited to reconfirm her belief in Jagya instead to going ahead with the untrustworthy Jagya. If your trust in something is shaken you dnt trust that thing instantly again, something needs to happen to reassure you of that trust again.
Herself tested Jagya for more time? So you agree again, that she could verify this factor too externally...!!
.where in the college, while doing MS?..where she might have spent another 2 years the way she spent last 5 years with him. How else?
Why has the family disowned him?
He told her the family didn't approve of his relation with her! what next?
That is again relying on untrustworthy Jagya. It needs critical thinking to understand why a family, that too in a patriarchal, rural India disowns their own son to support the daughter in law. Surely it is something very serious and cannot be resolved by just landing there for ashirwaad. The elders like bade papa could have advised her against such situations and the dangers of stepping into one.
In patriarchal societies people who don't follow elders instructions are more prone to be disowned. Plus, how could she simply walk in there...and what new she could have discovered??
Is he financially secure?-----
He is an MBBS doctor...who has possibly been selected for an MS!She knew it better than her sources of information
Then why the financial crisis now? Shouldn't she have asked Jagya now that your funds have stopped, how are you planning to meet the expenses?
For the short run, I think her expenses aren't a problem...I assume all professionals accepted into a medical MS program are eligible for loans...its Jagya who thinks there are "better" options like begging than taking a loan...for the long run, I'd say two selected medical MS students are supposed to be considered settled.
----are common questions that every girl should ask before marriage. And I think bade papa could have helped her come to decisions about these issues.
She knew the answers better than Bade papa...I'd still maintain Bade papa might have advised her to google out legalities of marriage...😆
I still think if these discussion had taken place in front of Bade papa, he could have guided G better. There's a reason why the father of the bride talks to the groom/boyfriend before marriage. For they as experienced men can identify problems in the potential groom that the daughter might overlook in love.
Anyway, i think we have argued enough. We have different points of views that will never match, so just lets agree to disagree. 😃
