If you were in Janvi's place and your family members asked you if you are happy or not, and in reality you are not (which is Janvi's situation), what would you do?
Would you lie to your family members about your happiness, or tell them the truth about how miserable you are..?

That's a really really darn good question. And honestly, I have no idea. But what I would like to think I would do is yes, I would tell my parents even if I know they're going to be hurt or whatever, because my parents ultimately want what's best for me.

But, even though I do say that, to an extent, I definitely get why some people would choose not to tell their parents. In a weird way, it's like you're failing because your married life isn't going well, etc. And please don't get me wrong! I'm not saying it's Jahnvi's fault, but I feel like it's natural for someone to place the blame on themselves, at least partially, on their marriage not working, or their partner not being happy. And furthermore, the social stigma of being a divorced woman, someone whose marriage has broken up, would also be a contributing factor in influencing their decision to tell the parents.

Jahnvi's clearly not at fault, she's simply in the worst of possible situations, but I think that it would take a lot of guts to go to the parents and tell them.

I hope I made some sense.

Cheers!

I myself am not sure if I would or not. If I would tell them that I am unhappy problems will begin in the "society" and what not and that might eventually bring the family name down (Im not a very "society! 😲" type person, but we live in a society so that factor does matter a bit) If I dont tell them, then I am just harming myself physically and mentally. I guess Janvi is just trying to hold on to her family's name in society and trying to find peace around Viraj.. somehow! 😛
Yep! I completely agree 😊

You took the words out of my mouth 😆

Very well said! I hope I would tell them, but like you said, being in that situation, it's very easy to blame yourself, and to hide your faults. Even from your family, because you love them, and you want their approval - not disapproval. I hope that no one finds themselves in such a situation...and if someone does. Then they should really speak up about it to their family. Because it's the abuser that's at fault, not the one being abused :)

well the main thing is not that will you tell your parents or not?the question should be that can you tell your parents or not because mostly circumstances are that you want to tell your parents but the problem is that you are unable to tell them and there could be many reasons for that because from outside everyone will say that yes we will tell our parents but from inside only that person who is suffering can explain why he can't.
p.s:kindly i want to tell you guyz that the person who is sharing this after marriage domestic violence philosophy is not married at all & coincedencely its me.

In my opinion, I would not.

Firstly, it would trouble and tense them, give them sleepless nights; which I would not want to give them at this age. I know it's going to be worse for Jhani if she doesn't but...

She knows Viraj truly loves her. He is just going through a obsessive disorder which is making him do all this. I remember the episode where Jhanvi brings Viraj back home from the hospital and he does not punish her at night, she says "her love will change him" With these words holding great importance IMO, I go with she should not tell her parents. It's a personal matter and she is determined to change him :)

Def Agree! Yes we can try and understand Jaanvi's reasoning behind her decision to lie but regardless she's still being delusional

Don't be a martyr.. Don't sacrifice your mental and physical health.. I swear if I was jaanvi's place and the moment my husband laid a hand on me that marriage would be over that second

What worries me are the 2 people who said 'No' in the poll.. Under NO circumstances should you think it's ok to hide an abusive husband no matter what
1. He's hitting you now
2. Tom he'll abuse your children
3. Either you/child can be killed

Who knows what the limit is.. ALWAYS protect yourself.. There is no maybe to this question.. You tell someone immediately and get out as fast as you can
