I totally understand both sides of equation and uzee while your comments are very valid, I loved Vivaah too, still watch it at every oppurtunity I get.. I say the situation of Vivaah & CB are completely different...

1. Vivaah was a movie of arranged marriage... 2 strangers meet, enter into a contract to spend life together, they are stangers and slowly in the engagement period, there is a comfortable level that develops which slowly turns into mutual respect & finally love...

2. Vivaah also show cases that in a period where in-laws burn their brides for money after marriage, here is a guy who could have walked away since he is only engaged but stands steadfast with his imperfect bride.... the burning of Poonam was more to test the love of Prem...

Both these scenarious is not valid in case of CB... CB is not an arranged marriage, Dev & Radhika's love has been tested in the worst possible way... where he still thinks he is married to the wrong girl... and since the serial has proven time & again that Dev is a gem among man, he will go to any lengths to obtain Radhika & her love.. this entire burning twist is useless...

If they truly wanted a twist, they should have created a situation maybe with Vishaka/Amma that would test Radhika's love of her adopted family vs. her love for Dev... to me that is the unknown in this whole wedding farce... at what point Radhika will choose Dev and his love over her desire to please her adopted family....

So far, all things equal she has chosen pleasing others, keeping peace over her husbands rights and love... but sometimes in life, you have to select... everyone comes to a crossroad atleast once in a lifetime where you have to commit to one path... has she now matured enough to select the correct path, given the similar circumstance as previous marriage????

That in a nutshell is my view of the magic of CB...
