đđźCan't agree moreI am well aware of the fact that the girls are more affected , especially when the girl marries a man twice her age. But that's precisely why this serial which is considered to be a serial dealing with social issues,by showing the child groom who just enjoys and consider his bride as a toy sends the wrong message and allow people to see only one side of the story, without going into the depth of the problem. The reality is different.
''''The Sad Hidden Plight of Child Grooms
The consequences of early marriage on young girls are well known, but millions of underage boys are also married off each year"and there is little research on their fates.
But boys, too, are negatively affected by premature nuptials
These young men have few advocates acting on their behalf, both on a grassroots and international level, while the massive number of young girls married off each year has captured global attention.''
"I think there are a lot of interesting questions about how arranged marriage, particularly child marriage, influences the grooms," said Jeffrey Edmeades, a social demographer for ICRW,
Judith Bruce, a senior associate at the Population Council, explained: "Boys are not sexually initiated forcefully, they don't get pregnant, and divorce is not the threat to them that it is to girls. But, obviously, being a boy groom is not a good plan." etc...
."
That is why precisely one show should not be so arbitrary, dealing with only one side of the story and allows some viewers to make a mockery of the boy who is also forced to do something about he has not the faintest idea what that is supposed to mean. .Yes, the boys can not get pregnant, they can not die in childbirth but may die emotionally .And may attempt to get rid of what is imposed on them whether it is right or wrong way they do it. But what I see also from this story is that child groom never had an understanding of his own family while the girl bride had absolute support of all of them. To do what ever she wants in her life, to educate herself , to have a roof on her head, to remarry, to have a happy family again.. But once she was remarried, she never stopped interfering in his life.. Anandi is still a victim!? What about Ganga then... she was beaten up , raped, a real slave. Just because I don't see Anandi as the only victim does not mean I do not think about women's rights.It just means that I'm looking at the bigger picture.
