It was said that this a bold drama and indeed it is. But I am glad that this issue has been addressed. There are girls/women in EVERY society that are physically abused, molested, raped and it scars them for life. It's not just the physical pain that they have to endure...it is the mental torture that makes it worse. I also understand that when Priya gets married to Aditya (which is evident) the culprit will become her father in law. It may seem hard to digest but let us not forget that there have been many horrific cases around the world of fathers and father figures that are so disguisting and mentally warped to cross all boundaries of a pure relationship.
I would say hats off to the entire team of Maryada, from the writer, director, to the actors. They have done a commendable job. I know that we have other dramas that have dealt with similar issues but I sincerely believe that Maryada so far has been close to realistic. I just hope that they show Aditya as Priya's strength and that he helps her in her fight for justice. I feel bad for him, the culprit is his father. But he has wronged Priya. And even if it had been any other girl and not Priya, even then the SSP should be severly punished. No man has the right to ruin the life and reputation of a girl.
