Its ok for us to think that way being raised mostly in citys (i assume because most of us have internet access which means we are somehow educated to one level or another and have a more modern surrounding) However I have relatives and know people that live in villages who are progressive in their thinking and yet there are many cultural boundries that they would not break. some things are engrained into you and some conditions such as the tought of a remarriage does not even come into account Judging by the surrounding Anandi is in its not easy to introduce a new character for her, it breaks away from a lot of social norms that exist to date and change comes slower than we think, we have to make change happen but by respecting the surroundings and conditions. I agree Jagya has been wrong, however they the family see justice in the name of Jagya repenting for his wrong deed and coming back to Anandi to give back what is her right in their eyes. Many many people that live in modern society also think that way. Nothing is black and white and what seems right to some can be wrong for others, but it is true that social norms are very strong, Even a women left by her husband in a modern society wold take back their husbands after the husbands affair. Not every feeling is straight forward sometimes what you think of love isnt love, its a moment of time thing, deciosions are not always right, we cant say you did this mistake and that cannot be rectified. I know girls that left their loved ones that came back to their exes and and are now living a very loving happy life with chirldren and family, vice versa, Jagya is wrong, but that does not mean he needs to be punished for life, He is seen as ruining Gauris life but she is equally to blame for her decision, she went into it knowing that he had a past a past in the form of a wife (not just a girlfriend) it is a bit unrealistic of the character of gauri to expect that now she is Jagyas wife they must cut all relations to Anandi!!!! They raised that girl since she was 12, and theres a reason why she was there in that house, If Bal vivah effected her life she should sympetise with anandi who is also a victim of Bal vivah in this case by the very person she claims to Love. How can Gauri Love a person who causes such injustice to another,But another Victim of Bal Vivah, how can her stand be right, then she falter with her principles already, she is wrong to begin with. If Gauri was a better person she would be an Anandi sympetiser not against Anandi!!!! none of it makes sense. Nor does it make sense for us to assume that creatives can show that in a village like Jetsar a Bahu of a family can be married off so easily to another. Specially in the Hindu religion, where tme and time again we se sacrifices doen by women who are eventually given their rights and they come on top.To introduce a new Character is a easy solution and one that says, Jagya was right in leaving Anandi, Gauri was right in marrying him, its fair for a person to leave his child bride when he discovers that he is no longer in love with her, Jagya goes unpunished in that way. All the social norms and responsibilities go out of the window. We know that marriage is not just about Love, its about many many things and Jagya rejected Anandi on the basis that he was no longer attracted o her, but it shows that Anandis devotion and responsible attitute to everyone around her stands the test of time. For that reason I would like Jagya to be punished but be reunited to Anandi.
