The absolute agency to make independent choices that Imlie, an impoverished highschooler in a strange city, was enabled when her 34 y/o husband-cum-employer told her things like "apni jagah mat bhulna" and "hum Moon ke the, aur Moon ke hi rahenge!" :)
So much intersectional agency, I tell you!
Truly, AKT is a singularly unique bigamist who accepts his mistake of committing bigamy months after consciously committing the said bigamy in the sea of ITV ASRs! Whooof!
I don’t understand how many times you people have to be told that Aditya did inform Malini Imlie was his wife when he came back to the city.🤪 Yes, Malini did make an informed choice of marrying him despite knowing he was already married to Imlie.😊
Aditya being rude to Imlie had no bearing on her ability to defy her marriage and return to PD. Aditya even offered her many opportunities when he offered to return her to PD himself. He tried to give her money too but she refused. She was the one who chose to accept him as a husband despite everything.
How do you define agency? I suppose agency for you is blackmailing a girl into marriage after buying her off with a financial debt you know she will never be able to repay. Agency is offering a girl (whose selfless tendencies you are very well aware of) the ‘deal’ to marry you or see her ex husband being framed in a case by you. Agency is doing 6 pheras on her behalf and giving her the ‘choice’ to complete the final one under duress. Is that what looks like agency to you?😊
Btw since you were kind enough to bring in bigamy again, I’ll say something I’ve been meaning to for a long time.
Bigamy means the act of marrying someone while being married to another person, yes? Assuming that marriage is a contract that unites the lives of two people physically, emotionally, socially and legally, Aditya never fulfilled that contract with Imlie while he was married to Malini. Therefore, he was never a bigamist in practice when he could have very easily taken the two sisters for a ride.
