First of all, marriage shouldn't be binding u, it should be setting u free. See, how a wilful half marriage and forced full marriage makes a difference...seeing prerna in last two episodes can prove that.
Secondly, there's something called gandharva marriage where u get married to eachother secretly, nobody being a witness to it. I m not sure if it is valid in the eyes of law or not. But that exists too since the same era from when this social marriage exists. Last time too, Anupre believed in their dhaga shaadi, those who mattered to them believed in it, society believed in it eventually. Well, those who don't want to believe it, won't believe it even after u r legally married...like mohini n the likes.
Thirdly, this time, Anurag put sindhoor consciously n he believed the marriage is done. It is prerna's wish to get married in all taam jhaam because she is that fairy tale believer girl and just to make her happy, he was ready to get married with all other rituals the next day. This is not my theory, this was shown in the episode.
And it's better if we don't talk about divorce of prerna and bajaj because if we have to get into the legalities, just pulling off the wedding dhaaga can't nullify the marriage, so Anupre's divorce too was pending when bajaj got married to prerna which again makes bajaj's marriage invalid too. Like how just putting dhaaga and sindhoor doesn't make people married, pulling off the dhaaga and wiping off the sindhoor too shouldn't make them divorced.
Both attempts of Anupre's social marriage were just like the renewal of vows...just done for prerna's happiness because she loves rituals wali shaadi. Like how ur remarriage doesn't nullify Ur original marriage, rituals wali shaadi doesn't nullify ur dhaaga or sindhoor Shaadi too.
And if u still want to tell me about law and society, I have clearly mentioned in the first line of my post itself that I m not going into how marriages work in real life, it is all based on what they r showing us in the episodes. Because one thing I m sure every viewer of kzk agrees upon is kzk is way too far from reality.
