Oh don't you know? In India, the ONLY purpose of marriage is reproduction. No kids means no marriage. So that also means overy gone, marriage gone.
Does it also mean no kids no intimacy too..because i am yet to see that portrayed with our cute couple?
One of my cousins decided she doesn't want to have kids. She thought kids are not her cup of tea. She was very clear on that when she got married. Her husband obviously had the same idea. He didn't want children either. After a minor protest, my aunt, mother of my cousin also had to give in. My cousin is an only child by the way.
But the groom's family thought it was a perfectly reasonable to ask him to a. Why did he marry her, b. Why doesn't he divorce her, c. My cousin is unnatural to not want to be a mother etc etc even though it was both of their decision. Not once did they ask him the same question or call him unnatural to not want to reproduce.
They moved to USA and have been happily living there for a while now. They visit India but that's for sake of duty, not for any pleasure one should feel for visiting one's family and loved ones.
Good for them
This is the same excuse people use in India to put down gay marriages or late in life marriages. No baby, no marriage.
As if a marriage needs a glue called baby to keep two people together.
WORD and in our show it needs EASWARI TOO!
Sonakshi is going to go through all those criticism if the infertility track is true.
She is after all the Nari of Indian TV
