I didn't watch this serial from the very beginning so I don't completely understand phuli's story or how she got into this situation in the first place. I had never heard of nata pratha before balika vadhu. Now I understand what that is, and it seems to be a common practice in the village, so did phuli or her family not realize that this was a nata pratha or that her baby would be taken away from her? in a place were such a practice is commonplace and considered illegal i would think that they would take some precaution. I was under the impression that she was deceived into marriage and then her baby was snatched away which to me is not nata pratha as they are labeling it to be...that is just pure deception. i would think in natha pratha both sides are aware of the agreement whereas in this case it doesn't seem that they are. and therefore, since it is a case of deception, it should be fought with the villagers supporting phooli as they would not want their daughters to be deceived in a similiar manner in the future...
