First of all, I am no biased towards feminism etc. So let me clarify, I am seeing this from a neutral POV, and if I feel for such big blatant life-shattering lie, if Dev deserves to be called names and deserves to be beaten, so does Sona.But here practically thinking, there is one more angle. It's Sona whose father did 'Kanyaadaan' and it's Sona whose mother has to teach her that after marriage, she should be thinking of Dev's family as her first home. Despite big drama happened over the kanyadaan in the marriage episode, this is the bitter truth of our society that the GIRL leaves the house and accepts the groom's family as hers, not the vice versa. If you really think, Bijoy has given his pride/his hope and his PRINCESS to Dev and Dixit household. Did he get Dev in return ? Does Dev consider Bose family as his AT ALL ? I hope you wont say 'Yes' even after the 'Aunty' drama where it didn't take even a second for Dev to call Asha as Aunty from Maa. Anyways so where was I ? Yeah about Bijoy giving his daughter to Dev. Now it's Dev's responsibility to take care of Sonakshi. On the other hand, Ishwari still has Dev dancing on his tunes, he didn't move even 1% from his comfortable position in his life. Ishwari didn't give Dev to Sonakshi asking her to take care of Dev, leaving all attachments behind. Ishwari still makes sure she HERSELF takes care of Dev's happiness (by doing chores, by removing swing, by preparing halwa, by long speech and countless). Ishwari has refused to give that responsibility to Sonakshi to make Dev happy. So if Sona lies today and hurts Dev, Ishwari would have a point to become MAD at Sona, but not to the extreme of beating her.The only acceptable scenario where Sona would be slapped by Ishwari for the same lie would be if Dev leaves his household and is living with the Boses and Sonakshi has got the sole responsibility of taking care of Dev, still she lies to him, hides facts from him to give him false hopes and then shatters his dreams like this.
Am I reading it right or did I misunderstand your post ?
Are you saying since Sona left her home ,her family members have the right to physically abuse their SIL when they feel he is hurting their daughter?Since Ish stays with them so he can only question Sona if she committed a mistake but cannot do beyond that because she gets to stay with her son ? Are We promoting domestic abuse on men here ?This reminds of a discussion in a relationship forum where a certain people were justifying domestic violence on women saying they were teaching her a lesson for disrespecting elders or people who justify honour killing because they crossed their limits
Has Sona severed ties with her family after marriage or is she restricted from meeting them or taking care of needs ?
I am sorry if I misunderstood but if I understood right then I am extremely shocked to see someone promoting domestic violence and justifying saying being a girls father he has every right to hit another adult ..how is this thinking different from our conservative society which feels a women needs to controlled by men ?
