I might be playing the devil's advocate here but for me, AKT's and Imlie's PD marriage was a forced wedding where people's (mainly AKT's) lives were at stakes. Here, just according to the promo we saw Aryan saying to Imlie that if you want to save Aditya, you have to marry me. I am assuming it's not something that is fatal to AKT's life, it's probably his job or him somehow going to jail. Bachana /Save kab karna padhta hain? If the person was wrong before or did something unsavory, that is why he has to be implicated. Now what I gathered from here is that Aryan gave Imlie a choice, she has the choice to not save BS, hence not going through the wedding. Right now, AKT is her nothing except step-jijaji (Malini being step sister) but as we know Imlie, she will jump right in to everything related to Tripathis. And her saviour complex will flare up again and she will marry Aryan. Still, I can't particularly call it being forced to marry, it will imply a lack of choice/consent. Here she knows what she is getting into, no matter how difficult it is for her. She chooses to save AKT. She is making a choice. Of course, she will get the feeling of being cornered and forced to make a decision, but the decision is hers at the end of the day.
