i don't agree with u.
If anu is old enough to have a baby then she is mature enough for marriage - and they are not forcing her. She and her boyfriend Rohit have already decided they are going to get married. also, Jai, adi and bani didn't say that it is definitly going ahead - they said that they have to go see the boy and his parents 1st, obviously if they are not happy with the match, they will not allow it to go ahead.

also, no matter what generation etc you are, you are always bound by culture and religion. In our indian culture it is severly frowned upon to have a child out of wedlock. A child deserves to be brought up in the best possible environment, and society will not allow it to do so if the child belongs to an unmarried woman.
Although this isn't true for every country - especially western countries, it is true for asian communities. An unmarried mother becomes an outcast.

The reason as to y bani was protecting news that the anu is pregnant, is because of this. But it is also, because the Walias are rich and well-known, therefore, people would say things and take advantage of their situation.

Also, as anu is still quite young, a bad reputation will create many problems in her life. She could have boys coming upto her thinking that she will sleep with any1, or future marriage proposals will also be affected etc.

So to answer your opinion, Jai and Bani are not old fashioned and backward, but are thinking about how society will treat anu and their family as a whole. To lose ur IZZAT, or respect is a very big deal. You can spend your whole life gaining respect but once it is lost, it is very hard to get back.

NO one seem to agree wid me but i still stand by ma point. 😆 It is not necessary that if Anu gets pregnant ten she is mature enough to get married (as mentioned by some of u guyz). Sometimes even 16, 17 year old gurls get pregnant so u tink they r mature enought to marry. Of course not! Anu may have gotten pregnant but she is not much smarter tan the 16 year olds. Therefore they shud consider tat the guy she is marrying is a nice guy or not. Because even worse than being a single parent for Anu wud be to married to the wrong guy and cry all life.

hi suku

i enjoy reading your posts. It appears as if you are correlating education with being westernized. this is to everyone: seems like people are meaning to say "westernized" but using the word "modern" instead. i would prefer to use the former. so now lets see. in one of your post you mentioned right after education, that more and more women are getting divorced and getting freedom. these two concepts are not so simply related. There are so many educated women in india who still believe in these traditions, in this culture and their respective religion. now india is a country of many religions, and all these religions do not support out of wedlock births or premarital sex. keeping this in mind, we can set religion aside as a constant and leave it out of the discussion. the most Basic indian tradition is the belief in the institution of family. it is from this belief that all others stem: marriage, respect for elders, etc. and look at the world around you. Why are there so many minors seeking support outside of their home? becase they lack family structure at home. im just not saying this without backup. there have been several studies that support such ideas. basically what im trying to point out is that behind these traditions is reasoning. there is a reason why these traditions are upheld even today. it is because the path they provide is not only practical but successful. Therefore, it would not necessarily be right to call different practices as "ancient." These practices are very much applicable today as well.

Yes, it may not be possible later. Looking at the trend in indian society, the scenario may very well be much different in 20 years.

how do you know that rohit is the wrong guy for her? i mean common as you say that today's generation is modern and will marry each other only if they actually love each and all that then why would this guy agree to marry anu??? even if she's pregnant, usually the guys object anyway if they dont actually love the girl. so this shows rohit's good character and also that maybe he actually loves her! and maybe anu too otherwise she wouldve told the family that she doesnst want to get married. AND ANYWAY IT'S SO DAMN HARD TO FIND ACTUAL TRUE LOVE. YOU GOTTA MAKE A COMPROMISE AT SOME POINT OR ANOTHER!

So dont get how i am relating divorce, freedom and Anu.😆 Let me try, k there was time wen Divorce was a Taboo in India but now it is not. (even Ram kapoor's wife is divorced, as i read tis morning, no offence to her) Tis change happened because society got educated and aware and made divorce laws easier and recognized divore. Same tin with being a single mom afta some time being a single mom wud be recognized in INDIA. And as far as religion is concerned, human rights and freedom I tink comes way above religion and religious beliefs and culture.
