Over the weekend there has been a fair bit of criticism against Bani for agreeing to marry Adbhoot. Now I am not defending her decision to marry Adbhoot. In my opinion that decision is neither right nor wrong, just her prerogative as a woman to chose her own life. But the reasons for which she has decided to consent to the marriage is completely WRONG.
Let us look at things from Bani's POV, her own sister and her own hubby conspired to put her behind bars. Her loved ones, Rano, Maasi, Dadi, Adi all abandoned her to her fate. Five years she is back and no one has expressed any sorrow for her sufferings, no one has even bothered asking her how she has lived all these years, her tormentor Pia is enjoying the pleasures of life. So what conclusion can she draw? And if she looks elsewhere for support, how's she to blame?
Yes, there is a reason behind her loved one's behaviour (although many would disagree) but no one has bothered conveying that to her, but is Bani to blame for that? Agreed both JB are being watched and it is difficult for them to have a tete-a-tete and even if they do Bani may choose not to believe JW and I won't blame her if she doesn't. But what about the others- Rano, Adi, Dadi can't they just slip out to meet her at Bhoot Bangla or assuming that they can't meet her there wait for her in ambush outside Bangla,stalk her maybe and speak to her in an unguarded moment. Surely they have the resources to do that. So if they have failed, is Bani wrong in believing that she has been abandoned by her own? If that is the case, what is wrong if she wants to move on? Why are we expecting her to remain faithful to her marriage when her hubby has just handed her a card proclaiming his marriage to her tormentor? Just because we love RK-PD chemistry is that it? Don't get me worng, I will always be a JB despo but it is JW (or his family) who has to make the first move now. And the good thing is now that the head of JB despos (Raashi) is back in WM, things may just start happening.
Another argument that has been made is that she will lose the children. That is no argument at all. When did she make the decision to marry AD? AFTER JW handed a card proclaiming the JP marriage. Now (from Bani's POV) if both JW and Bani are married to different persons, how is Bani's right to children any less than JW? Yes it wud be a diff issue if she was married but JW not. But from her POV she wud be marrying only after JP do.
Besides the issue is legally she is DDG now, not Bani and whether JP are married or not and whether AB are not, she is a non-entity legally as far as the children are concerned. She has no access to the kids, till she is Bani Walia, not DDG and if she is BW she is immediately behind bars. So the real issue now is proving BW innocent, not of expediting or preventing either AB/JW-DDGmarriage.
Now finally coming back to the decision. Yes, Bani needs to know the truth b4 making her decision but if she does not know the truth that is not HER fault. And hence she has the right to make her decision based on the best available info. And we can't criticise her for marrying Adbhoot. But yes her decision to marry AD is for all the wrong reasons. She is marrying him for staisfying the whims and fancies of the Moti Mom. It is ridiculous for a woman who has behind her one messed up marriage ( a marriage which she entered into for a wrong reasons) to enter into another marriage again for a wrong reason.
