Just like you, my blood boiled at Dev's attitude today. But I predicted that back during Vicky's track. Back then I wrote that if Sona doesn't make it clear then that this was the last time she will put up with his attitude of taking decision without discussing it with her, then she should be prepared for the multiple repeats of the same. But she not only let that go but bend over backwards to please Dev.
I said again during honeymoon track that this was a second strike and if again Sona doesn't make it clear that whether she says yes or not, still Dev should not take decisions on her behalf. But again, she let that go.
This is the third strike. Sorry, this is not a new thing for me anymore.
The problem in Dev's characterization as I pointed out before is his tendency to take executive decisions like he does at work. But a husband is not a boss to take decisions without anyone's input and a wife is not an employee who has to accept whatever decision a husband takes.
A husband-wife's relationship is like an equal partnership. Just like one partner can't take decision without another partner's input, husband-wife should be the same.
Moving on to your point on Sona's position in Dixit house. I have said it numerous times that a wife's respect in her husband's family relies solely on her husband's action.
I was told before that a strong woman should fight her own battles. She absolutely should. But she can't fight alone against a whole family when they gang up against her and even her husband sidelines her.
It's not a fair fight nor a fair expectation. I keep repeating fairness because I don't think a woman deserves to be treated like a Goddess be it a mother or wife or sister or daughter or friend. I believe a woman deserves to be treated as a human being who should be given fair chance, fair treatment and fair opportunity as men. That is the root of Feminism or Equality which one and the same that a lot of people don't realize.
Who did Sona bring with her in her in-laws? Who does any woman bring with her to her in-laws? Does she bring any family member? A pet? A friend? She brings no one. Instead she brings her hopes, her dreams and her unlimited trust on one man who promises to share HIS world with her and make her half of his life - her husband.
In exchange of that trust, if her husband makes it clear that while she is his wife, she comes after everyone else in his family. She is only loved when she stays out and keeps her mouth shut. She is only allowed as far as he or his family is willing to tolerate her presence.
Oh by the way, she should also manage to get pregnant by her husband and make sure HIS family name continues, otherwise she is a failure and may be replaced by a better model. And if she is not replaced she better be grateful. After all, not many man would show that much kindness.
And women are told to be satisfied and happy with what they got...
At least her husband values her in his bedroom. Isn't it enough?
At least he misses her when she is gone. What more does she want?
At least he insisted on marrying her while hiding the news of her own health from her for her own good... Where would you find a husband like that?
Really. Where would you find a husband like that?
But the question is do women really think so less of themselves that they are willing to let themselves be treated like that and willing to go back for more? Why can't they ask for their full due respect, dignity and honour equal to their husband and still be loved? Why should they be content with crumbs?
I am not saying you have to jump into divorce immediately. But shouldn't you at least protest and make it clear that either you are treated as a family or you don't want to live among strangers?
Shouldn't you at least make it clear that this is not a life you imagined or willing to live in your husband's home? That living in the fringes of his life is not enough? That little crumbs of affection and larger doses of insult and humiliation is not acceptable anymore?
And if you are not willing to fight for your rights, then what right do you have to complain?
What Sona did today, had she done during Vicky's time, she won't get treated like this today. And this was the point I tried to make then that CVs are showing now.

Ok I just got done with the episode and honestly the more I watch the Bose's the more Dixit family suffocates me even from my laptop screen 😛 What a fresh air of breathe from the moment Sourabh-Elena jumped and Sona smiled from the outside Just made my day ❤️ Sona should have never ever gotten married to the suffocating Dixits, including Dev.
This guy Dev - He ALONE has managed to give EVERY single person in the house to walk over Sona, be it Vicky, GKB or today Neha. Ishwari has given reason to Kichu Bhaiya to think where Sona stands in Dixit House (on the day of Tulsi puja etc). Overall, Sona has absolutely NO place in Dixit kaalkothri. And for all these, Dev ALONE is responsible. Today's episode was a bit too annoying to me, since it's been over 3 months the characterization of Dev is going down to drain and nothing has been done to stop that from happening 👎🏼. His aggression when he said he doesn't need to discuss everything with Sona - was cringeworthy and scary. His mountain-size ego doesn't help to make me feel bad about him anymore. He clearly realized he did wrong, but he did not say sorry. This has happened twice now. He turned out to be a typical boyfriend who becomes worst kind of a husband as he believes he has won some trophy which he doesn't need to worry about anymore, kind of a fixed deposit. He is giving every single person in the house the reason to think that Sona is a laughing stock. As an independent, progressive and free-thinking woman the ignorant smile of GKB, the opportunist fake-concerned looks of Ishwari and Neha's apology would hurt me a lot 👎🏼. I seriously want Dixits to treat him like shit, the boozing drama of Bijoy-Dev is not appealing to me anymore. Dev has become the WORST kind of husbands I have seen in Indian Television. Double-standard, hypocritical, insensitive towards others' pain, egoist and dumb who doesn't learn from his mistakes. Some main adjectives which can be used for him today. When he said 'we are fighting too much' - it was really laugh-worthy, not even a single instance I can remember when Sona initiates the fights. 👎🏼
He has gone beyond repair now. Being true to his character is not enough of an excuse for me to ship for this guy anymore. His character is one of a worse kind, I had expectations from this character to improve rather than continually seeing a stagnant character with no growth whatsoever.
P.S. - Sona is spared from my wrath today, however, what she has done today, should have been done long back during Vicky's fiasco. Anyways, better late than never, like I said, all I was looking forward to see is for the characters to do the right things eventually, not a moronic lead who endlessly repeats the same mistakes and insults his wife. I am still confused if he wanted a Mute Woman, why he married Sona and not a meek, obedient, 'gaav ki ladki' like Dadi Bua had suggested ?
