Isn't it a crime? - Page 6

Indeed an interesting topic. I have been a silent reader of this forum and have not seen the show for the past 2 weeks. My answer is based on what I read on the forum.

The Topic Maker I guess is attributing Parental Alienation. But do we know for sure that Dev is the father? I mean in the serial paternity has not been proven to say Dev is the father of the child. Did she have an IVF done after the divorce? Was Sona pregnant during the divorce? I am not sure how long divorces take in India but I presume they are never quick so that the spouse could hide visible signs of being pregnant.

From the little I know of the law, in these day and age, courts do not grant custody to one parent - laws have been revised. To get full custody the other parent should be proven incapable of good parenting. Courts today give custody to both unless parties agree to have sole custody with visiting right to the other parent.

If the matter reaches the court, there will be also questions regarding alimony and child maintenance. do we know the struggles Sona had to go through in the past 6 years to raise her child? Why did Dev agree on alimony during the divorce or was there a settlement?

Not sure if CVs are going to explore into the legal aspects. Most serials never portray reality. Shows like these are intended to tug the emotions of the audience and get the audience riled up.

From what I read Sona was unceremoniously thrown out with no support or alimony. I am not sure if they have been legally divorced or are they just separated?

Both are equally guilty.

Was it really between husband and wife in case of Dev and Sonakshi. For all we have seen till date, it was Ishwari all over their marriage. Who cared what Deva or Sona wanted, when it came to Dev only thing mattered was Ishwari's wishes, final word. What If Sona the thief and gold digger would have informed about the child, Ishwari would have demanded to bring to child to her but not wanting to bring Sona back. Is that even fair after so much humiliation of Sona (wife) and Bose's by Dev and Dixit's. Or is it a wife should always need to be understanding irrespective of how much humiliation she suffered at the hands of her husband and her in laws.

No a wife should put her foot down and leave him. Good riddance.

But everyone needs to stop second guess what Dev or Ishwari would have done?

Do you really think Dev would have taken the baby away from Sona, even on Ishwari's insistence? Please keep in mind that he didn't listen to Ishwari in the end.

I agree we should not guess what they mom & son would have done if sona had informed them but going by Thor past record if they chose to keep only the baby then what would sona have done. It all boils down to trust rather than ego. If a man can have her undergo a painful procedure for his moms sake she will only think of the worst about him.

I do feel for dev as he missed her growing up but I don't blame sona for her decision to not tell him

Thanks LadyLaLa

You are closest to what I meant. First of all, I really don't think divorce happened. Even if it did, it is pretty mutual. He asked to leave and she told him she is leaving him. Mutual. Their matter, they decide. But the child never belongs to one. Even if the prenup is put in place, it says that Sona will take care of the child financially. Is financial support all that a child needs? Is a father nothing?

Unfortunately, such matters cannot be agreed between the couple but need to be classified and agreed by the court of Law. Do you really think Dev would have not tried to use his power and might to snatch his child? We know how habitual Dev is with his underhand tactics which if taken to court, could get him into a lot of trouble. At the same time his wayward behaviour as depicted currently (him being a womaniser) - is it an ideal place for a child to be in? Had Sona informed them of having a daughter do you truly think they would have given her a fair chance?

The scales are a bit tilted as far as I see. Sure, she has concealed a fact from her husband. But what options did she have? would you be able to spell it out?
