Well at tender age Anandi was shoved nto his life In what way did his life change as compared to all the little girls who were married off at that age? Did he have to leave his home parents and school?
Did it stop him from enjoying his childhood? For that matter in what way did life change for all the boys who were married off at that age as when compared to the girls?
It was Suguna who was left pregnant and widowed when both boy and girl had fun.She as a girl had to face the brunt of it
It was Anandi who had to leave her home her parents her school and all the life she had known at the tender age.While her pati continued to go to school play cricket with friends enjoy holidays and what more sinve his Balika Vadhu is smart he could even make her do his homework while he played with his frineds.
Did life any way change for him as it did for all those girls?The girls had to pay double price one for being born as a girl and the next reason for being born into a community which practiced bal vivah.
If the boy leaves the girl it is she who has to suffer - Ex Champa
If the boy dies she has to suffer Ex - Phooli
If the boy decides that she is not good enough for him and decides to leave her -it is perfectly fine.
If the boy's/man's wife dies he will get a new Vadhu.

How is it that Lal Singh who had Bal Vivah and went onto do medicine in Mumbai never felt shy to admit that he was married off in childhood ? How is that he is still with the same girl he got married when he was a child?How is that he never felt his wife was not good enough?
When did the great Balakvar who is even ashamed to admit that he is from Village realise that great injustice dome to him? Only when he liked some other girl till then he was maha happy with his balikavadhu,
Balakvar has undergone great sufferings indeed.His sufferings and miseries out weigh all that the likes of Anandi Suguna Phooli Champa Rani put together.
Great suffering indeed all because he couldn't marry a girl of his choice and that too he was quite happy with what he has been getting from his Balika Vadhu till the time he met the girl in question.
He is the only man in the country who had to live with a bride of his parents choice😛
