You are able to understand those saat pheres and saat vachans you make. Is any of this possible being married as an 8 year old? This is why I reckon the Government has made that law that within two years after becoming legal child marriage victims are allowed to break their marriage.I don't think Jagiya didn't understand the implication of marriage at 18, especially when all his friends were married. He consummated his marriage. Anandi was not a stranger to him. She had lived with him as a kid and for 5 years they lived apart they were in contact. He could have rethought his marriage in those 5 years. They had a loving relationship at the start.Love is an emotion that just comes - however selfless and good your partner may be it doesnt mean that you will automatically love them. If you have chosen this marriage willingly then that means that you have chosen to fulfill it till your last breath. If it is a child marriage you should have a right to find your own choice, provided you do it with full dignity.
I have to argue against your idea that Jagiya didn't love Anandi. It was Gauri who made advances towards him. I am sure if Anandi was educated jagiya wouldn't have left her. He just left her because she was uneducated villager. Anandi and Jagya were not friends but husband and wife. It may be easy to leave friendship but marriage. I can agree if it was child marriage, but it was a marriage consummated after adulthood. both the parties were sensible enough to know what they were doing.
I am sorry I will never leave my partner if he has done so much for me. I have to be heartless and self-centred. Use other person and throw them. Jagiya should have respected it.
So basically if you choose to marry then you must fulfill your vachans - unless of course in drastic cases. But even I am not a supporter of divorce except when absolutely necessary.
In Jogia's case I supported him when he said he truly loved Gauri because I didn't think he needed to be bound by a marriage he never did in the true sense and that time of course I thought it to be llegal. I just feel the way Jogia went about it was totally wrong. Now
however I doubt the very context of his love🤢 Cos he is a big liar!
Are you doubting his love? And so the logic of Jagiya-Gauri marriage?
