Let me make it clear first- I respect the institution of marriage and then I love the idea of single life long partner monogamy etc..
But if you think about society...
Haven't many women accepted their husbands who might have slept with another woman pre-marriage? Yes men don't have to carry a baby as a result of s** and they don't need to prove their virginity. Why our society makes it a big issue if a woman had pre-marriage s** but if it's a man- it's like "chalta hain.."???

Munee, I dont know what you are really harping at, the circumstance under which the child is conceived.

why indulge in such matters in the first place. Men get away with it as you said cause they don't get pregnant and can't be identified as virgins the reason they contract aids and die miserable deaths. Is it so important to go ahead with the task..... just a question.

Well I can think of any one of three ways.

- Prachi being betrayed in love

- she being a prostitute

- she being a rape victim

I think one can rule out a prostitute because love children are frequently born and also accepted in that society. She would not want to commit suicide because of it.

As to the other two, how is it going to affect his decision whether to accept her or not? should he accept her only if she was a rape victim and not a woman who is betrayed in love?

Opti I understand she made a mistake all i wanted was that she accept that she made a mistake in front of Milind she owes it to him. There may be a million love children all over the world for all we know so Prachi is not out of the blue or out of the society but she should get a clean breast infront of Milind.

It is stating the obvious. He knows she made a mistake. That was the first thing he realised when he started questioning her on the first day and he saw her tormented eyes which spoke of her guilt. So why would he ask her what was the circumstance under which she committed the act. What does it achieve. Yes, he wants to know her past so that he can understand her better but not if she is unwilling to open up. His acceptance does not hinge on it. But Prachi will talk about her past. I will bring out the circumstance in which this happens. I repeat, Prachi's confession and Milind's love have no correlation. They are two different matters. True love is to accept one's partner with all their flaws and Milind is doing just that.

I am happy for Prachi that she will be forgiven and is going to get a good life with Milind. Her trying to kill herself says she knew that she had broken a social law there and aware of her mistake.

From Milind's side- as he seems to be falling for the woman already- he will have a partner/wife whom he loved. He will accept the baby too as he loves the mother (I think he will also have a bond with the baby as he will be seeing growing inside and outisde Prachi's womb). And then he has a big heart to accept a woman who has a past.

One question though- Will Prachi really fall in love with Milind or will it be more of gratitude??
